CarterP··on Show HN: Using Facebook Statuses as a CDN
Yeah I'm pretty new to the AWS stuff and am still running on my free usage tier. Originally I was running some php on the page, hence the server. Now it's all javascript based so the micro instance isn't needed but I just left it up as it's still free.

It uses facebook graph api calls to retrieve statuses and dynamically load the content from those statuses into the page. I didn't put a whole lot on the original page because my goal was to show how much of a site could be held in Facebook statuses.
