I know everyone talks about how great Apple’s iPhone is. I did something different yesterday.

I have been using Mosso Cloud Files for a few weeks now and I am very happy with the results. Using their API has been very straight forward and easy to use. Adding my files to their service and then changing the website to use those only took a few hours to do.

TechCrunch has written an article about the new Woot ads that appear when you search for “goog” on google.
