Nicely done. I suppose you POST crawl data into it or...? - Aviv

Nope, I hit a special URL (using curl via cron from my server) and App Engine does the crawling - Benjamin Golub

Oh yeah, that makes perfect sense - Aviv

Yes, and it's crazy fast! - Benjamin Golub

what about rssmeme? or is there too much crawling involved? - Aviv

technically with rssmeme you could have the crawl super fast if you add all the google shared feeds to google reader and then have AppEngine hit up Reader (although not sure if urlfetch supports cookies). That should make for an interesting hack - Aviv

I'm going to look into getting RSSmeme on App Engine next, it's just a "bit" bigger than FriendFeed Stats :P - Benjamin Golub

After DNS propagates the old URL (http://www.friendfeedstats.com) should point to the App Engine...I hope - Benjamin Golub

Nice! Looks like it went pretty well. Of course, that means all the data is gone now :P - Brandon Titus

Yes, it's gone, I could import it all if people get really antsy, but it's not like it was running for very long in the first place. People won't even notice after a few weeks. - Benjamin Golub

trying to search user gets file not found- must be that missing data - Nathan Eckenrode

Yup, if it doesn't find you then it 404s, use FriendFeed more often and it will find you! http://friendfeedstats.appspot... works for instance - Benjamin Golub

Only my stuff for April is on FFstats now. Will this be fixed? - Corvida

I'll look into importing the old data from my server to App Engine....but it might be a little while (or never). - Benjamin Golub

Wow, appengine is turning out to be painfully simple to implement. Congrats on such a quick port! - Bwana McCall

It's simple to port if you originally developed in Python :) - Benjamin Golub

Does BigTable prevent you from doing complex db operations? It seems like the inability to join or use "OR" is limiting? - felix

Ya, it is limiting (and that's why I doubt RSSmeme will be ported to it) - Benjamin Golub

very interesting - accesine
