@bobbyrne01 Its a good idea . We would have to look into the traffic limits on google app engine in that case.
I have no particular preference as to which service(s) to add
Yeah traffic limits will always be a concern as popularity grows.
We've plenty of room for traffic on app engine, we're using 0% of our free quota currently and billing is disabled in case we ever go over limits.
@bobbyrne01 Cool. Well then we could look at integrating the flickr api at some point as you seem to have a preference for that one
@dillbyrne what do you think about implementing something like this? Any services you think might be good? I like the
flickr
option because our app would be listed onflickr
, a way of generating traffic.flickr
