Here's my super freaky logic; one day, I said to myself: "Gmail is free, and it is AWESOME."
There was quiet in my mind for several seconds... Then I surmised: "Maybe Google App Engine will do for web hosting what Gmail did for email... it will be AWESOME!" I thought to myself... "I must be a genius... I will make a website right now to capitalize on my mental momentum!" Then I made one. It's www.bookdope.com , I'd appreciate it if you go to it. That would be nice. I would enjoy seeing your visit on Google Analytics (which is also like totally free dude). Unlike this guy's website, theoretically my website has a way to make money. It has sweet AdSense on the left, and I'm an affiliate with Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Walmart, Better World Books, OverStock, and Buy.com. Well, actually I do Better World Books for free because I love them so much. Sure. I haven't made a dime. I'm still like $40 in the hole from buying this sweet "bookdope" domain name. Actually, finding it available was all the motivation I needed -- it just rolls off your tongue. It's dope beyond measure. When Network Solutions said "BOOKDOPE.COM is available," I knew I was destined to make a book site, even if there's like a million of them already out there. So what I'm getting at (even thought it's probably difficult to tell) is that you have to be able to monetize your application or you'll end up having to take it down (unless you're just feeling very generous). I've got a year to make back my $40. I don't know if I'm going to make it, but learning App Engine has been super fun for me, so I'll chalk it up as a pretty good deal. Okay. That's all from me. Please don't give me horrible ratings for this post. I know that some people don't find my humor funny at all.
