I've been using Amazon S3 hosting service for amost a year now. So I was not too suprised when I heard that they were offering a free hosting service. However, what is surprising is how they now allow you to monetize your videos.

The pop up ads are very nicely done and not too intrusive. I am going to use this in a number of ways and look forward to hearing how others are using the Amazon Video Widget.

I only wish the player was not branded. But I guess you can't have everything. Nice work Amazon!
