Google goes hosting
Google today announced the beta (for 10.000 users) of their hosting services. If you are one of the happy few (for now), you can host you Python application for…well..nothing… You can store your data through a Python API . You have 500MB of disk storage, 10GB incoming /10 Gb outgoing bandwidth per day, 200 million megacycles of CPU per day and 2,000 emails per day. Ouch. That’s pretty cool.
