Zach was playing with this today. This Flash-based online presentation tool looks VERY SLICK (and infinitely better than Google Docs presentations).
Quoted: Why is SlideRocket the best online presentation software available? It is the first browser-based productivity application that surpasses features available in desktop presentation programs.

Amazon just shipped their new attachable volume service for EC2. Now you can mount a persistent store to your instances, and not worry about them disappearing if your instance crashes or is de-commissioned.
Pricing is $0.10 per GB per month plus $0.10 per 1 million I/O requests. Back-of-the-napkin estimate for a 100GB volume used for a high volume web site would cost $36 per month.

Intuit ratchets up the stakes with a VAR partner strategy for developers. But Intuit has NOT done a good job in the online database game - their Quickbase product is pretty sucky, the last time I looked at it.
They acquired PayTrust last year as well, and have similarly not done a very good job in bringing that online application into the modern era.
Quoted: Intuit wants in on the race to become the platform for enterprise apps in the cloud. It is opening up QuickBase to developers ...

remember the milk is a cool online task list service. But it seems to me that their user interface has many design flaws.
Editing items requires that you know to click on icons in the right-hand sidebar.
Very confusing navigation structure. They have one TOP-LEVEL navigation in the upper right corner, and second set of tabs in the main column, and sometimes a thirds set of tabs in the right column. It makes it very difficult to find the commands that apply to the currently selected object.
Try, for example, to figure out how to "share a list" - I couldn't remember how to do this even after I had done it once already.
Despite these flaws - it's still a powerful tool, with some cool sharing features that make it a pretty good solution to light-weight task list sharing.
