Pete Koomen & Paul McDonald - Product Managers, Google App Engine
Introduction
On this episode of ReadWriteTalk, we talk to Pete Koomen and Paul McDonald product managers for Google App Engine. Tomorrow at the Google IO conference, the App Engine team will be announcing a few new features including: new APIs for image manipulation and integrating memcached like functionality (update after interview from Paul: API created by Brad Fitzpatrick). They also are going to be releasing information around pricing to purchase additional computing resources beyond the free throttled access and eliminating the wait-list so all developers can have access. We discussed these announcements as well as the current state of App Engine on the episode.
Finally, I apologize in advance for some of the audio quality in parts of this interview. We are actively working on improving the sound quality for these interviews and should have a new solution in the next few weeks.

The whole Gaggle thing is of little consequence to us, I’m not worried in the least!

@bobbyd - I agree. We are working on a new solution for the audio on interviews.
