While it is important for SEO, I think it is more important to not be locked in. If there was a policy change on a 3rd party platform, you are forced to accept it or lose all existing links. This is important for usability! As a user, all

It will be interesting to see what changes AppEngine needs to run Jaiku. I've got a few projects on AppEngine and having a code base that has Jaiku's feature set will be a huge resource for building all kinds of apps.

At Softlayer 16GB is $350/mo more than 2GB, _but_ they almost always have a special double/double for the same price (double the HDDs and double the RAM). So I just bought a 16GB server for userscripts.org for the 8GB price ($150/mo). htt

Odd that they didn't use PNG for the tiles. (perhaps a limitation of seadragon). It would be interesting to see a comparison with AppEngine, S3, and CloudBurst. Obviously AppEngine won this because it was free, but 10GB/day is less than $

I would recommend Python or if the Unix/Linux component isn't as important, JavaScript. JavaScript would allow your brother to share his creations with friends and learning the amazing (and at times frustrating world) world of the web.

Hosting on EC2 might not be cost effective when you only need one server, but once you start need multiple servers the advantages quickly add up. I'm currently a customer of Amazon, Softlayer, Serverbeach and few cheap VPS elsewhere. I fin
