John Musser asks “Coming Soon: Social Network APIs” - and I hope I don’t have to tell John that PeopleAggregatopr has two kinds of APIs.

We just love the fact that everyone is talking about this now.

We’ve got traditional web servcies call - which use XML-RPC and REST - and we’ve got php5 calls - deep inside our code - as we’ve completely decoupled our user interface front-end from our backend - via these APIs.  Those same APIs are available to any developer to intrinsicly add social networking or blogging to their app or service.

And needless to say - we can’t wait till everyone opens up - cause they ain’t right now.  The Facebook TOS is still very onerous - but no one talks about that - either.

BTW MySpace changed their page design over the weekend and broke all our scrapers. I bet there’s more than one company scrambling today to get back in sync with scraping MySpace pages.
