Fanatical stupidy and head in the clould is more fitting in my opinion.

Jungle Disk ROCKS for backups, etc.. but we needed a way to create sub accounts, assign containers, etc.. ***** Cloud9 is a new web-based service that allows users, or Web Designers/Programmers to manage their Cloud Files more easily. It’s accessible, secure and fast. Basically, it improves upon the Mosso Cloud Files manager in these ways: 1) Multiple file uploads!! Up to 20 at a time! No more waiting, file after file, or trying to teach your clients how to use Cyberduck/FireUploader, et al. 2) You can create unlimited ‘user’ accounts and give them access only to containers you assign to them. Unlimited Users, Unlimited Containers. 3) You, as the admin, stay in complete control over the users, containers, objects (files), etc. You have global read/write/delete access. 4) Each user can manage their own objects (files), upload/delete, etc. as well as add containers to their user account without intervention from the admin 5) It’s super easy for you and your clients to use. 6) The each file name listed in a container is pre-linked to the file, so using the URL for that file is as easy as, Right Click, Copy Link! So, be sure to check it out.. it’s pre-launch time and everything is getting the file check off for the launch date… We’ll be issuing a limited number of FREE accounts during the beta phase. After which, the service will start a little above that Venti Mocha Frap you had last week, and have plans for different usage limits :) <a href="http://revivemarketing.org/cloud9" rel="nofollow">Cloud9 Website</a> Hey, just a heads up, as I’m sure many are interested in an easy way to manage their Cloud Files containers and objects .. especially, when you’d like to have more than one user but do not want to give them access to your whole admin panel!!

The more choices you provide your customers the better. They can then decide who they want to use. Jungledisk will be supporting both. The benefit for Jungledisk using Cloud files is that I don't need to remember two separate logins, or accounts. Under my mosso account, I have the CloudFiles sub account. So, with that in place I get one bill. Andy,

We’re totally committed to service -- we strive to be one of the best service companies, not just a technology company. Fanatical Support is part of our DNA, and our culture. I agree, support matters in the Cloud as it matters in traditional hosting. Technology will solve a lot of problems, but not all.

We see ourselves as that partner. Part of Fanatical Support for us is not only supporting you, but also offering you the right products, with the right user experience, that fit your needs whether they are Cloud products, or dedicated products, or even hybrid solutions. For those that may not have experienced Fanatical Support as Vid did, do you recall a single peak experience at a restaurant that combined fantastic “menu items” with unbelievable customer service that made it totally stand out? You enthusiastically tell friends. It works in the restaurant business, and it works in high tech...That’s the “bull’s-eye” we aim for at The Rackspace Cloud… Thanks Vid!
