ShouldIBackupMy.com – A project for Open Hack 2009

Cristiano Betta talks us through how he built the wonderfully funny "ShouldIBackupMy.com". In this project he uses The Guardian Content API to give him information to "predict" the longevity of things you might be concerned enough about to back up.

The Truth is In There: Research & Discovery with The Guardian Content API | The Guardian Open Platform | guardian.co.uk

by karlcow

Application Programming Interface, a phrase that has a number of different meanings to the people build and use APIs, and virtually no meaning at all to those that don't. I like to think of an API as a bridge - one which allows information to flow from one piece of software to another. In the case of the Guardian's Content API, the bridge allows us to send requests to and receive information from the Guardian's huge database of articles, images, and other assets.

by night.kame

Why not push the idea a little further? Let’s imagine. I’m a reader of, say, The Guardian, Le Monde or the Norwegian VG. And I want to consume my online paper during my morning commute. My iPhone (or any future similar device) is set to wake up at 7h00 sharp and download my favorite web sites’ latest updates.

Ca s'appelle AvantGo, et on l'utilisait en 2000. Une bonne phrase dans l'article néanmoins :

Now Flickr is hit by Yahoo layoffs | Technology | guardian.co.uk

by karlcow
