Just because someone else is running them doesn’t mean it’s “without servers.”

  Yes, obviously. It is meant more in the sense of “without EC2 instances” or something similar, but I think it would have ended up to be too confusing for a title, there is already too much AWS jargon in it.
  
  On a side note, if the reason on why I posted this was not clear: I didn’t posted this for the chat application per se (it is not quite usable in a real world scenario), but because I thought it was a nice example on how Amazon Web Services can work together in clever ways. This was also the purpose of the project, to “create a multi-user, dynamic web application without using EC2 or resorting to hacks”.

    alternative title: How to Use Amazon Web Services together in clever ways alternative title: Create multi-user dynamic web application in AWS without EC2
    
    Current title is not very strong, is there no way to add a link description?

So? They’re interesting documents. The site doesn’t seem to be spamming, but it is quality content, age considered.

Is @tuxy affiliated with the site? If they aren’t shilling or anything, I’m fine.

  The website looks to be quite new (probably his own?) and all the content is straight from http://textfiles.com with some formatting and ads. Shouldn’t he link the original source directly?

  It just seems a bit strange to produce a pseudo-index of the site in the form of lobsters posts. I wasn’t sure, hence posting here.
  
  The poster does appear to be affiliated with/the author of the site in question, and indeed, can be seen posting the same links elsewhere ([1], [2]).

    @ kivikakk, “pseudo-index” does not bellong to just one site. Its just a good way to organize relavent content. I never even looked at Lobsters or any other site when I designed ReadText ;-)

  @ calvin, yes any text-file posted is hand-picked and formated to be easily read on any device. Yes I’m the editor on the site :-) I’m glad you like the site, in time there will be much more content from other BBS' boards and old forums as well. (with permission to re-post of course ;-)
