Of course I wouldn't mind if its crazy popular and makes tons of money, but im not sure that the market is there. Chris:

For volumes where the cost difference matters, I'm not sure what features would be important. Out of curiosity, are you hoping to make much money from this project? Good points. :-)

AWS offers you thumbnails that they've taken at there last crawl of the web. In my checking that means usually an monthly update. Webthumb offers the following on top of AWS: Thumbs of sites how it looks today More thumbnail sizes Thumbnails from any url What is doesn't offer: Immediate thumbnails, getting your thumbnail is an async process since were making it of the site while you wait. So i guess the services are similar but not the same, but its a certainty that even aws can't sell thumbs of any site at the request time for only $0.0002 per thumbnail. Chris:

(A cost of $0.05 per thumbnail is 250 times more expensive than Amazon's offering.)
