getmetricmail.com creates simple Google Analytics reports and sends them to you as a PDF. Currently 3000 free users. A handfull pays, so it makes about $100 per month. A good example of Freemium gone wrong.

I'm wondering if they store all gathered information permanently. They don't give exact information on that matter.

The question that made at least two recruiters sweat in my last interviews: "Why do you like to work for this company?" I was quite surprised. One would assume, that they have a perfectly prepared answer for a question like that.

I really hoped that they would release a full-text search for the datastore. Guess I'll have to wait for that and use the improvised solution ( http://billkatz.com/2009/6/Simple-Full-Text-Search-for-App-E... ).

I searched the site for a 'Buy a print version' link until I realised that this is 'just' an online version. The magazine would look wonderful on some heavy, high-gloss paper.

Perhaps you can give us an example on how to implement this. I would be really interested in it.

Did you build that system yourself or is this a off-the-shelf solution?

Hm. Lift even works on Google App Engine. Pretty nice: http://www.scala-lang.org/node/1826 That would take the pain out of deploying an app.

Please don't forget that you can also flag comments. Simply click on the link of the parent and click flag. Downvoting alone doesn't do the job.

Price for this one is $400. A lot more expensive than I thought. http://www.seekway.com.cn/e/3d/a08/detail.htm

This is my personal opinion, so feel free to disagree: I would never work for free. I'm good at what I'm doing and I create value for that company/person. No need to give this away for free.

What I like most, is that all people click on the link although it says "It's unavailable". Wondering if this has an additional effect on the availability.

Hm, that's too far unfortunately :) Perhaps there are some people who would like to meet up around Cologne.

As a reference point: Our service (getmetricmail.com) which is running on GAE had an uptime of 99.97% in November.

Perhaps I'm being naive here, but doesn't an uptime-service like Pingdom do the job? They basically ping the site every 5 minutes which should keep the instance alive.

The #appengine channel on Freenode is a pretty good place to ask. There are oftentimes people from Google who are working on GAE and can help you out. Worked for me several times.
