Can you use Amazon S3 to create the new FLickr killer?

Can you use Amazon’s S3 service to host the images for your new Flickr killer?

URL’s look like this: http://s3.amazonaws.com/mypictures/0001/

Quotes is the bucket, Nelson is the object. You can store JPGs there, no problem.

The question is: can you access this anonmously, ie, can I do

I’ve been reading the auth docs, haven’t figured it out. Anyone have an answer?

Thanks!

    Sure you can: http://s3.amazonaws.com/mypictures/0001/peter.jpg. Check out the s3curl utility that comes on the website, that makes it easy. You just need to set the acl to public-read.
