Hi, I have so far been using the nouns 'Container' and 'Blob' for the entities in our (developing) cloud storage API. It was always the intention to change these at some point so I thought it would be a good idea to get some input from the wider group. A 'blob' is a uniquely named collection of data, stored as a single entity (in S3/CloudFiles 'Object'). A 'container' is a uniquely named grouping of blobs (in S3 'Bucket' and CloudFiles 'Container').

So, any ideas about what we should be calling these 'things'? Do we need to change the current names at all?
