Just read this article on TechCrunch about a new feature in the Twitter API.
I have the whole API covered in the OPML Editor, no user-level functionality yet to report, but I'll have an update for this feature as soon as possible.
It's great to see them evolve the API. It's a pretty nice one. Easy and quick to implement.
BTW, I've noticed that Technorati now includes Twitter references. Might have some effect on the rankings on TR.
Dave Winer, 55, is a visiting scholar at NYU's Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute. He pioneered the development of weblogs, syndication (RSS), podcasting, outlining, and web content management software; former contributing editor at Wired Magazine, research fellow at Harvard Law School, entrepreneur, and investor in web media companies. A native New Yorker, he received a Master's in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin, a Bachelor's in Mathematics from Tulane University and currently lives in New York City.
"RSS was born in 1997 out of the confluence of Dave Winer's 'Really Simple Syndication' technology, used to push out blog updates, and Netscape's 'Rich Site Summary', which allowed users to create custom Netscape home pages with regularly updated data flows." - Tim O'Reilly.
