Recently I've launched my first site, that was revealed to some friends whose critisism I'm not afraid of :). It is called Spycify, and was made just for fun using Python, Google App Engine and some outside APIs.
Actually I saw facedetection API on Programmable Web, and decided that I should do something with it. There was no doubt on selecting programming language. It is Python for sure. As a hosting/framework I've chosen Google App Engine. I see it as a free place for little experiments. I know my service wouldn't need any highscalability, performancability or other cool-abilities. This is just a good place to host a little project, fast to code, fast to deploy. I know that if I place my service on GAE it will be thereforever some forseeable future, so I can come back to it, if I want to and show it. There's no need to think about hosting, domain name or something like this - it "just works".
