Notes"The microformats + RSS + clipboard (mRc) combo isn't just about copy and pasting static structured data into microformat-aware webpages and clients (though this on its own would pretty powerful stuff)."Unfurl
Notes"This document describes the protocol used by the Google data APIs ("GData"), including information about what a query looks like, what results look like, and so on."Unfurl
Notes"If it is a misstep in the code, why not keep APP on the straight and narrow, and make APP good enough that the cheap boats will rise to take advantage of it."Unfurl

NotesThis is basically where I was headed with FeedReactor: "Imagine that you just have a huge glob of storage that you can store Atom Entries in, and which you can edit using the APP, and then search over using OpenSearch.Unfurl
Notes"The Term Extraction service provides a list of significant words or phrases extracted from a larger content." Very interesting, this is. I wonder if it works better than Amazon's TextStream searches?Unfurl
Notes"This article outlines a series of steps you can follow in creating your protocol--guidance that will help you get all the benefits that REST has to offer, while avoiding common pitfalls."Unfurl
Notes"Unlike other HTTP APIs, Tarawa is designed to encourage applications to align their object model with the interface they expose as Web resources."Unfurl
Notes"There are a lot of details to work out here, of course, but I must say I like the feel of using a dictionary here." Looks like quasi-idiomatic Python access to REST resources.Unfurl
