OMG. That was NOT cool.

Why App engine?

No time for hosting, sysadmin, deploying, dns, downtime, scaling, monitoring etc...

Shit just works!

short =[url for url in page.urls if supported(url)]long = [longurlplease(url) for url in short][swap(url) for url in long]

def longurlplease(url): response = urlfetch.head(url) return response.headers['location']

10 minute proof of concept

What about the constraints?

Time to chat
