"Our customers asked us for a way to globally distribute their most frequently accessed content with all the benefits that Amazon Web Services provides -- low, pay-as-you-go pricing, high performance, and reliability," said Adam Selipsky, Vice President of Product Management and Developer Relations for Amazon Web Services. "Amazon CloudFront provides low latency, inexpensive content delivery and simple integration with Amazon S3 -- without complex sales negotiations or up-front commitments."

Built on Amazon's own highly reliable infrastructure, CloudFront lets developers and businesses deliver HTTP content through a worldwide network of edge locations. The service caches copies of content close to end users for low latency delivery, while also providing fast, sustained data transfer rates needed to deliver popular objects to end users at scale. CloudFront works seamlessly with Amazon S3, where users store the original versions of objects delivered through the service. Customers need only put their objects into an Amazon S3 bucket and then register that bucket with the new service using a simple API call, which then returns a domain name used to access content through the network of edge locations. Customers of Amazon CloudFront can also take advantage of 24x7x365 personalized assistance and technical expertise by signing up for AWS Premium Support.

Woot, an online store that offers customers a new product each day, is using CloudFront to deliver photos of its products to its online shoppers. "I deeply resent every second of my life I waste by thinking about image hosting. All I ask is that our images be served with low latency and high reliability and without a lot of hassle for me to deal with. Thanks to Amazon CloudFront, I need never again lose another moment to this insufferably tedious aspect of my job. I can feel the rage melting away," said Luke Duff, Retail IT Director at Woot.

Playfish uses Amazon CloudFront to distribute its social games. "We've grown very rapidly to over 25 million registered players and we now serve over 2 billion minutes of game play every month," said Sami Lababidi, CTO of Playfish. "CloudFront has reduced the time it takes for any customer, wherever they are, to access our games through CloudFront's fast download speeds. AWS also allows us to stay flexible as we grow and only pay for what we actually use without any long-term contracts or usage commitments."

"S3Fox is excited to announce support for Amazon CloudFront. We found the CloudFront API to be very simple to use and we were able to easily add support for the service to our product," said Rahul Jonna of Suchi Software Solutions. "The S3Fox Organizer is a simple visual way to turn an Amazon S3 bucket into a CloudFront distribution right from a web browser in a matter of seconds."

Businesses in a variety of industries are taking advantage of the instant scalability that AWS provides. CloudFront enables use cases such as video distribution, software downloads, music downloads, and delivering frequently accessed website images and objects. Over 440,000 developers have registered to use Amazon Web Services. Sign up to use Amazon CloudFront on the Amazon Web Services website at: http://aws.amazon.com.

Between Feb. 2 and Feb. 8, 2009, writers with an unpublished English-language novel manuscript can submit their work at www.amazon.com/abna. Up to 10,000 initial entries will be accepted, from which Amazon editors will select 2,000 to advance to the next round. Expert reviewers from Amazon will then review excerpts of these 2,000 entries and narrow the pool to 500 quarter-finalists. Reviewers from Publishers Weekly will then read, rate and review the full manuscripts, and 100 semi-finalists will be selected. Penguin editors will evaluate the manuscripts from this group of 100 and choose three finalists. A panel of esteemed publishing professionals -- including mega-bestselling authors Sue Grafton and Sue Monk Kidd, literary agent Barney Karpfinger and Penguin Press Editor-in-Chief Eamon Dolan -- will read and post their critiques of the top three manuscripts on www.amazon.com. Amazon customers will then have seven days to vote for the Grand Prize Winner.The winner will be announced on May 22, 2009, and will receive a publishing contract with Penguin, which includes a $25,000 advance.

"We are excited to once again team up with Penguin to help authors break through and to introduce millions of Amazon customers to great new books," said Jeff Belle, Amazon's vice president, U.S. Books.

"Our objective is to build the world's largest and most intelligent travel marketplace," said Dara Khosrowshahi, Expedia, Inc.'s CEO and president.

Leading the company's worldwide teams are:

-- Eric Grosse -- President, Expedia Worldwide. This group is responsible for Expedia.com in the U.S., all Expedia worldwide sites, and the Media Services Group. Grosse was previously president and co-founder of The Hotwire Group. Prior to founding Hotwire in 2000, Grosse was with Morgan Stanley and also worked in Internet research at DMG Technology Group, where he helped lead the Amazon.com IPO.

-- David Roche -- President, hotels.com Worldwide and Venere.com. This group is responsible for the global hotels.com points of sale, including the recent acquisition of Europe-based Venere.com. Roche joined Expedia in 2003 to lead the hotels.com and Expedia Distribution businesses in the Europe, Middle East & Africa regions. Prior to joining Expedia, Roche founded companies in both the marketing and technology spheres.

-- Henrik Kjellberg -- President, Expedia Distribution Worldwide. This team provides private label booking solutions for travel suppliers looking to enhance and extend their product offerings. Kjellberg has been with Expedia since 2001 and most recently led the Asia Pacific region. His other roles include leading the Europe, Middle East & Africa team for the Partner Services Group. Kjellberg has been on the board of directors for Expedia's majority- owned eLong, Inc. (Nasdaq: LONG) since 2005 and will continue to act as Chairman of eLong Board. Prior to joining Expedia, Kjellberg was with Spray, a leading Swedish Internet portal, and with Procter & Gamble.

In addition to these structural changes, the company announced the departure of Paul Brown and Dermot Halpin.

"Paul Brown has tirelessly served as the head of our Partner Services Group and provided great leadership for our Expedia North America business," said Khosrowshahi. "He will be a great addition to the management team of Hilton Hotels Corporation, as president of Global Brands and Shared Services."

Khosrowshahi continued: "As president of Expedia Europe, Dermot Halpin has built our EMEA business from $2 billion in gross bookings to more than $4.5 billion in gross bookings in 32 countries. Through Dermot's leadership, we have created real scale in EMEA that has enabled us to realign our organization along global brands. After year-end, Dermot will assume new business interest and board positions in organizations outside Expedia, Inc."

"We thank Paul and Dermot for their efforts and wish them continued success in their endeavors."

Brown will continue in the Partner Services Group role for a brief transition period, after which the function will report directly to Khosrowshahi while Expedia conducts an internal and external search for a new leader.

Expedia, Inc.'s other businesses, Trip Advisor, Egencia, Hotwire, and Classic Vacations will not be affected by these changes.

The SqueezeTrigger database of approximately 1 billion short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were forced to allow data processors like SqueezeTrigger.com to access the data. Total Short Interest is the number of shares shorted but not yet covered, and is different from total short volume.

About SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM

WWW.SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM is a service designed to help bonafide shareholders of publicly traded US companies fight short selling. SqueezeTrigger.com has built a proprietary database that uses Threshold list feeds and short sale time and sale data from NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE to generate detailed and useful information to combat the short selling problem. For the first time, actual trade by trade data is available to the public that shows the attempted size, actual size, price and average value of short sales in stocks that have been shorted. This information is valuable in determining the precise point at which short sellers go out-of-the-money and start losing on their short trades.

SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM has built a massive database that collects, analyzes and publishes a proprietary SqueezeTrigger for each stock that has been shorted. The SqueezeTrigger database of nearly one billion short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were forced to allow data processors like SqueezeTrigger.com to access the data.

The SqueezeTrigger database collects individual short trade data on over 7,000 NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ stocks and general short trade data on nearly 8,000 OTCBB and PINKSHEET stocks. Each month the database grows by approximately 50,000,000 short sale transactions and provides investors with the knowledge necessary to time when to buy and sell stocks with outstanding short positions. By tracking the size and price of each month's short transactions, SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM provides institutions, traders, analysts, journalists and individual investors the exact price point where short sellers start losing money and a short squeeze can begin.
