Absolute limit of 60k means it's not worth investing in if there's a chance you will hit that limit.

Somehow, Google APIs always end up broken like that. Why don't they just have the balls to scale up like Amazon does?

I guess it might change. Google App Engine is finally beginning to make sense, be it mainly for intranet applications.

I see you two have some pretty big plans on your mind! Care to share what is it you're building that 60000 predictions per day just won't cut it?

... easy, benchmarking your own algos against the prediction API on large-scale data sets. I presume that's what 90% of the people who received their account during testing did anyway :-D I did 15k requests in about 10mins at times.

it also means that it's not something that they're using internally for anything important either
