My thoughts exactly. A $10/month virtual hosting provider and what, a screenful of PHP code, and you could be similarly ‘highly scalable.’

Is this the pinnacle of what can be achieved with the Google AppEngine? This is going to be one long recession if so…

The popularity of people participating – now THAT I would agree with. Fantastic to get people participating and to introduce some level of transparent conversation, but really, come on, “highly scalable” my left foot.

How about some rapid evolution of actual DISCUSSION, rather than just voting up and down? Crank filtering? De-duplication of similar ideas? This is more a “noise engine” than it is a discussion/moderation engine.

If there was anything that could get me hating my Prez, that would be it.

On the other hand, if his admin. ever goes after Google, I’ll love O even more.

Google’s adsense payout is a scam.
