I can definitely sympathize with the sentiments here. I really wish Google did offer better communication. However, I just wanted to point out:
Jaiko is a company acquired by Google quite a while back. A TechCrunch post today ( http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/08/28/jaiku-uncaps-invites-migrates-to-google-infrastructure/ ) links to a previous blog entry, which indicates their intention to convert the app entirely to App Engine: http://www.jaiku.com/blog/2008/04/08/wroom-were-moving-to-google-app-engine/ This seems to be a promising sign of investment in AE on Google's part (although the move was almost certainly made solely for that purpose).
