So here’s the idea for supercharging your free AppEngine quotas: 1) switch you app to the paid model by enabling billing, 2) enter the minimum daily budget ($1), and 3) distribute the budget over resources you are 100% sure will not consume their free quota (e.g. if you have a stateless app which doesn’t use the database, put the whole $1 in the stored data quota). Since you put your budget on resources which won’t consume the entire free quota and since AppEngine doesn’t charge you anything if the app doesn’t step over the free quota – you are essentially getting a better free quota." - Ivan Zuzak
"EDIT (Sept 5 2009): Yesterday, a week after my original post, Google released AppEngine SDK 1.2.5 which includes a major feature a lot of developers have been waiting for – XMPP support. What’s interesting and relevant for this post is that XMPP has it’s own quotas for the number of API calls, data sent, recipients messaged and invitations sent, and – none of these quotas are marked as... more... - Ivan Zuzak

This is the key quote from this well-thought-out post: "Secondly, although [FriendFeed] ended up being primarily used as a Twitter app/conversation hub, its owners didn’t really focus on this aspect of the service which would likely have been avenue for significant growth. For what I mean, look at the graph of unique users for sites that acted as adjuncts to Twitter versus FriendFeed’s which chose not to [go this route]." - Alex Schleber
True, but when Twitter keels over so does twitpic. Which happens often. - Ed F

Thinking that as soon as #TeamDigerati has completed this next big release we should have another day of paint balling! :)
I'm thinking that the Family Reunion would be PERFECT for a little paintball tourney! I suck at it, but it's SO much fun! (and the whelps go away after a while...) - Scott Magdalein

Gmail is the best email software/product out there. If they just made it an empty web app shell to plug in and use, it would be awesome.

It's about frickin' time, Guy! You're the guy who handed Steve Balmer a Macbook Air as a symbol of good design and yet you've been using Twitter all this time? Either start using friendfeed or switch to using Dells. You can't have it both ways. :) - Scoble, Alex Scoble
You missed out on the earlier days of FriendFeed, but then it's never too late to start using it. - imabonehead
