Ole and Lena were so excited to get a new cellular phone. Ole was to call when he was on his way home from town. Ole called Lena when he entered the freeway. “Lena put supper on, I’m on my way home.” Lena says, “Be careful because I hear some nut is driving the wrong way on the freeway.” “It’s worse than that Lena, where I’m at there are a hundred cars going the wrong way!”

The Google SOAP API is making quite a splash. It’s at the top of the Daypop.com top 40 right now, and rising. Looks like Daypop users like the Google API almost as much as they like the new iMac. Does that mean that webloggers have a disproportinate number of geeky Macintosh users? Not sure about that one…
Dave is up after midnight pointing at work Simon Fell is doing with SOAP, the Blogger API, the Google API and Microsoft Word. My heart sinks a bit knowing that the stuff he’s done will only work on Windows. (Please correct me if I’m wrong on that. 😉
Give us ubiquitous APIs that use standard protocols, and we scripters, programmers, protocol wanks and geeks will give you ‘Net-aware apps you’ve never dreamed of. We can do wonders with paper clips and Duck Tape, but we could do so much more with a Swiss Army Knife and a soldering iron…

I just saw a TV ad on the History Channel for websites hosted by Verisign.
What on Earth are they thinking? No demos. No screenshots of their editing interface. No FAQ. No mention of browser-based editing, web services integration, browser compatibility, web standards, shopping carts, credit card acceptance, automated features, etc… All they have is a pretty woman smiling at you next to a fancy banner graphic which reads, “It’s as easy as 1-2-3…” [their emphasis, not mine].
In fact, there’s not a single hyperlink on the entire page!
$65.00 per year (domain name regisration not included)? Looks like a money-grab to me. A company as wealthy and powerful as Verisign could do much better than this. I’ll stick with what I’m using for $39.95/year, thank-you-very-much.
Oh by the way,… Like, what–ever!
