Then I have a question for you, which nobody's answering on the google group.

Google is charging per datastore operation, and last I saw was defining each entity returned as an operation.

If you were building a social network or twitter clone using the techniques they recommend in this talk at GoogleIO: http://www.google.com/events/io/2009/sessions/BuildingScalab...

...you could easily pull back a hundred entities each time you pull someone's feed. Each entry is a separate entity. It'd cost you a buck for every pageview.

Is that an accurate assessment?
