(2009-11-22) Twitter Blog Clien Apis

Inspired by Dave Winer's latest piece on RSS: RSS will form the basis for the open distributed version of Twitter (Open Twitter)... it suddenly struck me that the Open MicroBlogging API shouldn't be necessary, between already-existing MetaWeblog API and Atom Standards options.

What's actually being used out there (to create/edit entries, do other content-creation)?.....

Looking by server/service

• TypePad, other SixApart: seems like lots of XmlRpc flavors, plus ReST/JSON...

• Word Press: all the XmlRpc options (Blogger API, MetaWeblog API, Movable Type Api)

• Blogger: used to have its own Blogger API, now uses GData variant

• TumblR: HttpPost http://www.tumblr.com/docs/api#api_write

• Twitter: its own API using ReST/JSON

• LaconiCa: Open MicroBlogging
