Amazon Web Services

I have to thank the guys at Open Stock Photography for "reintroducing" the TRYNT team to the Amazon Web Services. After seeing OSP integrate Amazon S3 in a matter of days our interest has been peaked. Amazon EC2 seem especially intriguing. Stay tuned for more as start making progress with the EC2.

(Interest in EC2 not yet peaked? Maybe you should read about Hadoop which is offering Google-esq Map/Reduce via EC2 or PXN8 on EC2)

Open Stock Photography

Recently I've found myself mentioning Open Stock Photography a more then once. Well folks here I go again! The OSP team has taken advantage of yet another free TRYNT web service to offer "search translations."

You can see an example here. By clicking "Translate" you'll be making an AJAX call to our web service for "translations." This is a very interesting utilization.

These guys are really using as many APIs as they can get their hands on. According to their "changelog" they are now using everything from Amazon S3 to IceRocket to MSN to Yahoo! Very very cool!

Popular TRYNT Web Services

A while back we posted a list of most popular web services. Back then our CAPTCHA web service was leading the back because it had been integrated into a few blogging applications. Curious which TRYNT web services are leading the back now? Here is our up to date list:

The list is suprisingly similar to our last one. Mostly a bit of shifting around. Apparently Google Pagerank just isn't as interesting as it used to be.

Attention mash-up developers! If you are consuming TRYNT web services in your application then let us know! We'll help you promote it.
