Setting Up API Service Interactions
Aug 30, 2008 Evolution of Madness
API-Madness has nearly finished setting up accounts with the major web 2.0 services. It is a nice exercise to set-up all those accounts. It teaches a lot about best practices.
The next step will be to check out each service in detail and see what API based interconnections it offers to other services. This will be quite some work. I hope it will not take more than a month to go through all the services and check out their API Features.
The current account list is:
Bebo, Blogger, Delicious, Digg, Facebook, FriendFeed, Gravatar, Hi5, identi.ca, kwippy, LinkedIn, LiveJournal, ma.gnolia.com, Mashable, MyBlogLog, MySpace, OpenCalais, MyVidoop, ping.fm, Plurk, Pownce, Rejaw, Technorati, Tumblr, Twitter, Wordpress.com, Xanga
