Amazon announced their final 7 more than a week ago, but we finally got the email over Thanksgiving break. No, our idea was not cool enough to make the list; but then again, there were only a couple of cool ones on the list that caught my attention.

Thank you for participating in the AWS Start-Up Challenge! We were amazed by the innovation -- and sheer volume -- of the applications we received, which made choosing a handful of finalists a challenge in itself.
We're sorry to say that your application was not amongst the few finalists. We wish you success in your start-up and we hope that AWS’ infrastructure services (Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, and Amazon SQS) will help you build a strong foundation for your business.
You can read about the seven finalists at http://aws.amazon.com/startupchallenge.
Best wishes,
Tracy Laxdal

Are we bummed? Yes and no. It'd be great to get some free money to use to test the S3 solution (which we did), at the same time, getting tied up with a bunch of investors at this early of a stage can also be distracting. As they aay... too many chefs in the kitchen... blah blah.
