Manage Amazon S3 with CloudBerry Explorer

by Andy Brudtkuhl on February 19, 2009

Every once in awhile I go on an Amazon S3 kick. Mainly – it’s because I love the service. But for the most part people are still confused about “cloud storage” and content delivery networks and think you have to be a technology wizard to use them. This is not the case – there are some awesome tools that help you work with Amazon S3. We covered Mac apps for Amazon S3 and the latest S3Fox Plugin. This time we are going to discuss CloudBerry Explorer.

Features include:

  1. Manage Multiple S3 Accounts
  2. Share Buckets with Other Users
  3. Copy Between Buckets
  4. Support for Requester Pays
  5. Recursive Permission Management (great feature)
  6. Amazon CloudFront Manager

Overall if you are looking to manage your Amazon S3 on Windows PC, I’d go with CloudBerry Explorer or S3Fox. Both are great choices.

You NEED a Tweetup Badge for SXSW

by Andy Brudtkuhl on February 11, 2009

Last week I wrote about the checklist I made for my first SXSW trip… I forgot one very important thing – my Tweetup Badge!


(@richdrake‘s tweetup badge)

A Tweetup Badge “helps you put names to faces in the offline world”… Why is this sooo important? Well there are dozens and dozens of people I plan on meeting up with in Austin that I’ve met on Twitter – but have never met in real life… In order to put the face to the name a Tweetup Badge is ESSENTIAL. And with the popularity of Twitter at SXSW you will likely get many additional followers just from wearing it around!

For $2.50 you can’t afford NOT to have one!
