From Japan via Joi Ito comes news of a new developer using the MetaWeblog API. You've probably heard of them. Don Park has some ideas on weblog APIs. Boston Globe on MIT's new government website. BuzzMachine reports on a demo of AOL's blogging tool. On this day in 1998, Josh Lucas got a Java XML-RPC client working. Back then we talked about XML-RPC differently, it was a way to communicate with Frontier. A few years later O'Reilly would publish a book about XML-RPC and not even mention that Frontier supports it. Is that progress? Yes, in some ways. No in others. To this day, some more enthusiastic Frontier-philes insist that UserLand's implementation is the canonical one. They are wrong, there is no canonical implementation of XML-RPC. It's a thing unto itself. A very beautiful thing, imho. |
