And the $11? ~100Gb of transfer on S3?

Storage + bandwidth + hosting + assorted costs (maintenance, backups, email, etc.), all for a year + profit
Why not automagically host the files on Flickr, saving you costs of storage & bandwidth?
Wouldn't there be anything in Flickr's ToS that would prevent third party developers from hosting their app's photos there? I like the suggestion though.
Yes. From Flickr: "The direct link to a photo file is no longer shown on the page. Per the Flickr Community Guidelines "pages on other websites that display content hosted on flickr.com must provide a link from each photo or video back to its page on Flickr." Linking directly to the photo file doesn't do this."
I'll second that question but also point out that it probably would make even less sense to charge for the service.
I think a desktop and/or mobile software for P 360 would make more sense than an online solution. It could simply integrate with people's Flickr accounts and get out of the way.
