Absolutely true. But what I'm suggesting is that they leverage their relationships on behalf of the GAE developer community in China to try and help us out. A lot of times in China its the only and best way to grease the wheels. I've looked through the threads and this isn't the first time this issue has come up. Again, my real question for Google is: Is GAE ready to support mission critical applications in China? Or for that matter anywhere? I need an uptime gaurantee. As much as I love Google, if Baidu offered a comparable cloud computing service, I'd probably use it instead, simply because I've never once had an issue accessing Baidu.com. Why does Google have blocking issues and Baidu doesn't? I know a lot of the blocking issues for Google are related to objectionable content that appears on Blogspot. It seems there are a few possible solutions: 1) Make sure that dynamic DNS never mixes IPs between Blogspot and GAE. 2) Be more self policing and make sure objectionable content is never allowed to appear to Chinese users. There's no bigger advocate for free speech than me, but here you play by the rules or don't play at all, and its pretty much that simple. So the solution might be techincal, and it might be political, but whatever it is there needs to be one. I'm sure Google has experts on all of these issues and I'd love to hear their opinions! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
