So that’s why I can’t access it. I thought it was a problem with JungleDisk, but the reality is a little scarier. Time to start using a second online storage provider, I guess — maybe something that is reliable, like OmniDrive.
Yes, that’s a joke.

I backup my iPhoto library nightly to Amazon S3 using the automated feature of JungleDisk. Last nigh's backup completed successfully. I will see about tonight.

Well, me personally…very little, I only host a few images on there for my personal site. The project I’m working on though was hit because it uses S3 for all of it’s images(inspirationfolder.com) but being the smart developer I am had a fail-safe built in so it switched over to using local images when S3 went down. It’s still not good but most people should have something like this in place.

It is not impacted because I built in redundancy. The people that are complaining probably didn’t. If you rely on a single point of storage for mission critical data, well then, you’ve got bigger problems.

Not at all. I don’t use it.
