Invitation to try Google App Engine

Google sent today:

Hello,

Thanks for signing up to try Google App Engine! Your account has been activated, so you can begin building applications!

To start creating applications with Google App Engine, simply follow this link (you may need to sign in with your xxx Google Account) and verify your account with a mobile phone number:

appengine.google.com

Personally, I do not need such happiness, because I am far from web development and I have no dreams of creating startups,
but perhaps I can imagine useful applications. If invitations to the service are deficient, I can add
the application and “Invite a Developer to Collaborate”, since I can add 9 more applications.
