Redis is a key-value store. S3 is a distributed file system.

Can we stop labeling the set of "not a rdbms" data storage mechanisms with the stupid fucking "NoSQL" moniker.

To be fair I've hardly seen an article on the benefits of NoSQL on the frontpage for a while.

First it was No SQL. Then it was Not Only SQL. Then it was, we have to get some real work done, Need Our SQL.
