Jeff Bezos can lose a $100 mil a year for the rest of his life and still die with 2.1 billion in the bank! Or something crazy like that. Crazy. Amazon + Push. Who'd of thought? Kind of mental but ties in with that whole cloud thingy. Off to cut the grass, mild out!

Wow! I wonder what the other Backend As A Service (BaaS) companies such as Parse are thinking now? As you kick the tires on it, let us know how well their SDK fits into BuzzTouch. -- Niraj

I'll be sure to take notes Niraj. Some businesses are just to easy to clone. Or maybe these things should be looked at as features and not businesses. Reminds me of how easily Google and Amazon cloned Groupon with Amazon Local and Google Offers.

Maybe that's why Jeff B. bought the Washington Post - so you could "push" his way into the news business. LOL. Amazon + Push = awesome.

Is this the first way to be able to send PN to Kindle devices? Or do they already have that capacity? Jon Stewarts sub did a bit about this purchase last night- http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-august-14-2013/bezos-and-masthead

Million/month is not a big deal. This is pretty standard for messaging services. The 50 cents per msg thereafter is where it gets pricy. I am assuming the million messages means the msgs being delivered to each device, not the one that you send. PubNub has a similar pricing model and they run on Amazon's cloud.
