Posting comments on blogs is still a pain. I just tried to post the following comment to a post on APIs being the next site map:
I agree with you, APIs are the new site map. [comment about site rejecting previous post]The following response was given:
There is still extensive work to be done to eliminate the silos. First, everyone has to have their own web server. The technology isn't really there for that today, unless you count projects like Paper Airplane (which isn't a complete product). Next, service providers need to provide a common set of services that will allow everyone the freedom to move from their limited function server onto the full-scale Internet.
I call that common set of services a WebOS API (http://clamoring.blogspot.com/2006/12/defining-webos-api.html). A new name is probably needed, since folks seem to have stolen that name for webtops.
Do you think a microformat that describes that site map and API would be useful? It would need to replace something machine oriented that is already useful today, such as WSDL.
Does that look like a viagra advertisement to you? Oh well, I understand the need for comment filters. It would have been nice if it at least indicated that it was going into a moderation queue.Comment Posting Guidelines
Sorry but it looks as though your comment has been filtered out to avoid blog spam. You weren't trying to sell me viagra were you?
