The new Queue service is pretty cool, and I personally wrote and sent 
out that newsletter.

>>Amazon Simple Queue Service Beta
>>--------------------------------
>>
>>The Amazon Simple Queue Service is now available for beta
>>testing. The Simple Queue Service offers a reliable, highly
>>scalable hosted queue for buffering messages between distributed
>>application components.
>>
>>You can use the Amazon Simple Queue Service to better manage
>>messages between components of your distributed
>>applications. SQS allows you to decouple components and make
>>them run independently. Any component of a distributed
>>application can store any type of data in a reliable queue at
>>Amazon.com.  Any other component or application can then later
>>retrieve the data using queue semantics.  The queue acts as a
>>buffer between the work-producer that is saving the data, and
>>the work-consumer that is retrieving the data for processing.
>>
>>Registered developers can create any number of queues. Each
>>queue can hold up to 4,000 items and each item can be up to
>>4,096 bytes in length.
>>
>>The Amazon Simple Queue Service is free at this time. We
>>anticipate charging for this service once it is officially
>>released. We haven't finalized pricing yet, but we expect to
>>make this service available to you at a very reasonable price.
