Nice project: « we are just starting to see what people will do with #realtime, we need more artists using Twitter #API

RT @NeediumHQ: OneBigPlanet partners with Needium to leverage our technology and expertise for the Daily Deals space #api

RT @lennysan: Launch of the new @Infochimps Geo API today. Woohoo! More data for y'all to play with - << real nice indeed

Twitter's twin; a Rack middleware to expose a Twitter-like API from your app.

LangID is a fast way to retrieve information about any sort of language, without specifying the language. Give the service a piece of text and it provides the English name of the language, the ISO code, and an image of the flag of one of the countries this language is spoken in. The API extends LangID for developers to build on

What makes the BlockChalk platform unique?

* It’s dead simple. There are no badges, medals, points, unicorns, pirates, or other viral gaming craziness. BlockChalk is about locations and the messages people leave there, that’s it.

* It’s flexible. The interfaces and data structures are general in nature, and we encourage you to build application-specific functionality on top of them. We’ve thought up plenty of uses for BlockChalk, but we think it’s the independent developers who will come up with the best ones.
* It’s anonymous. This means authentication is unnecessary and security concerns are light (when was the last time you heard that?). The API just uses a simple user ID token to tie together a given user’s chalks (i.e. messages they’ve posted) and replies. Anonymity also means that BlockChalk is unconcerned with identity, friends, and social networks. Think more Craigslist, less Facebook.

praized:place=PID is our model, so Praized HQ would be praized:place=4b414e0de1beb6b6cad55213aacbd52d it's a bit ugly (and long) but would work... thinking about a cleaner model, but it would involve more tags, microformats triplicates... could this be generic? place:cite=montreal? Will dig for more info.

ideas for praizedcamp...

A CakeMail Interface plugin is a program, or a set of one or more functions, written in the PHP scripting language, that adds a specific set of features or services to the CakeMail Interface, which can be seamlessly integrated using access points and methods provided by the CakeMail Interface Plugin Application Program Interface (API).

Yahoo! Geo Tech is so underhyped. There's a lot of useful stuff at

New system-wide features include Twitter-like status updates, widgets and plenty of of APIs third-party developers can use to access Yahoo social sharing services.

The primary goal of this proposal is to serve as a common protocol understood by all OpenSocial clients and servers. If this draft is adopted, it would replace the previously proposed GData-based OpenSocial data API.

It's pretty easy (we hope). The language to use the datbase is very simple. Not geeky at all. We call it TwiNQL (TWItter Non-geeky Query Language).

That’s how many different open web service APIs are now listed in the ProgrammableWeb directory.

An add-on for the GMaps API - handle large numbers of markers (1000+) without the slow performance via the maps API.

Small REST applications that are designed from the ground up to be integrated with other apps. Usually, they are not directly useful on their own, but must be integrated into other applications (this is what differentiates a MicroApp from a REST app).

The following shows the basics of working with the raw CouchDb REST api from Ruby. If you want a richer interface that more tightly maps Couch documents into Ruby, you should check out the CouchDb-Ruby API
