Google Storage Is Now Available To All Developers 62
aabelro writes "Google has announced at I/O 2011 the availability of their Storage service to all developers without the need for an invitation. The service has been enhanced with OAuth 2.0 support, simplified account management through the API Console, a new EU storage region, and a new API version."

Question is: What really happened after purchase that necessitated this type of action?

Sociologist: Ingroup members will be positively biased towards the product, outgroup members will want in
System admin: this job sucks, anyone got some weed?
