Jeff Barr of Amazon Web Services team spoke at Yahoo! yesterday. Main topics included Web services in general and Mechanical Turk Web services specifically. Amazon has been offering a wide variety of Web services tapping into their backend systems for quite a while, and the community has been responsive in building apps on top of those.
Some stats from Jeff Barr’s speech yesterday: 80% of requests to Amazon Web Services are REST, 20% are SOAP. His suggestion? Offer both, since you can never be sure what your most loyal developers are familiar with, and you want to give people a choice.
Mechanical Turk is the first pure Web service app from Amazon, where they built a user (worker) front-end, but the employer (requester) interface is handled by the Web services allowing other companies to build apps on top of that. mturk has been quite a success for company so far, although the amount of work put in has been slim and mostly came from Amazon’s subsidiary A9 search engine. Currently they are shopping around for more work to be put in the system, and they seem to be happy with the business model of charging 10% off every transaction.
