"Google technology stack" != AppEngine Google technology stack is the distributed filesystem, is the search API, the mail API, MapReduce and everything else Google offers from it's vast datacenters.
AppEngine is a drop in the bucket, a small window into that stack. Google Analytics is really a cannibalized and repackaged Urchin. Expect something similar out of the Jaiku "revolution." A lot of heavier-duty Urchin users felt left in the dust when Google picked apart the offering and halted new development. Again, expect something similar out of Jaiku -- because Google has become a place companies go to die. (GrandCentral anyone?)
