Thanks Nick. I thought the TOS was more concerned with sites that talked with each other, like one that does search, one that sends emails, etc. That's fine though, I don't mind supporting GAE, and like you say, it'll still be cheap. Plus, the extra pressure of having to pay for use will force me to be more clever with my design, which has been a big reason for this being so fun to begin with.
So now that I got ya ... can you tell me when you guys are going to announce an API for searching our entities? :) :). Just between me and you, I won't tell anyone :| Thanks again, you guys are doing great work - this is an awesome project - Blake On Mar 18, 3:04 pm, "Nick Johnson (Google)" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Blake, > > On Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 6:01 PM, Blake <[email protected]> wrote: > > Well... you're probably right in the long term.
