I get pitched by a large number of Turkish internet startups, and none of them, not one, so far, have built their application using cloud computing. I wonder why that is.
It seems to me that the cloud computing service providers like Google App Engine, AWS and 10gen, offer a solid, scalable solution. On top of this, all of the non-cloud Turkish alternatives are more expensive than their US counterparts. Yet, you read about companies like drop.io going 100% cloud and I can not name a single Turkish company following suit.
Interesting.
Our services Sendloop.com, PreviewMyEmail.com and Wridea.com use AWS ;)
And I can say that it was the best move we made 1,5 years ago by deciding to use AWS.
