New Social Search Product Running Completely on Amazon Web Services

A new social search service called SideStripe has been released into the wild. The service lets you find information as well as ask questions and get answers from the people in your social network. They also have a nice widget that embeds itself right in your Google results.

SideStripe is running on EC2 with app servers behind load balancers, SimpleDB is the database and S3 is used for larger data that doesn’t fit in S3 as well as for shared caching.
