I'm concerned that since my site (www.nimbits.com) doesn't make any money right now, the new prices may kill it before it reaches critical mass. That is, I have a business model similar to twitter: i need a lot of users feeding me a lot of data before mining that data becomes valuable - but people aren't going to want to pay to feed me their data.
I'd really appreciate guidance from google on the best ways to monetize an app, or pass costs on to the users. I'm quite skilled at java / GAE btw, and do freelance consulting - if anyone needs assistance in tuning their apps to run at lower costs feel free to drop me a line. - Ben On Sep 1, 1:07 am, Robert Kluin <[email protected]> wrote: > I've not had time to play with Python 2.7 to see how much threads help yet, > but the scheduler needs work too.
