Ikai, I agree wholehartedly with you.
Nevertheless, I think what Locke needs is a quick and dirty solution before the correct one you mention is implemented (which can take a while, because it is the correct one). At the same time, that solution needs to not interfere with other applications. The poll initiative using cron would be of that kind. I suppose Locke could load a static page somewhere (I think that is possible right now in GAE, but I'm not sure) and inside that page have a link (let's say an image) that is hosted with the rest of the app. This way the application would the pinged whenever a user enters the page and everyone would be happy. Cheers, Guillermo. On 24 feb, 15:29, "Ikai L (Google)" <[email protected]> wrote: > The "correct" solution is to drive more traffic to your application, and we > discourage "pinging".
