RSS, XHTML, XSL, web services and the REST

Freakin’ hell. “Beware the ides of March!” It’s March 2, 2011 and it’s almost impossible to find free, accessible API’s (Application Programming Interface) on the web. The best you can do is the weather or some useless stock ticker. Hell, it’s been done. Even before “web 2.0″ we’ve been sharing information, but all the promises of RSS, XHTML, XSL, web services and the REST have come to noting. Sure if you’re Facebook, guard your information well, but if you want to sell stuff, put it out there. Make it open, make it available.

Publish your web services, expose an API. We’re all hanging on to information for dear life in the hope that we’ll make a buck, when the true value is in sharing. Everyone is clinging to the big boys like Amazon, Facebook, EBay, Apple (duh) and Google to drag us from the gutter. These guys didn’t wait for someone to give them a hand up – they become IT.

For all I know the world is trying to prove Tim Berners-Lee wrong. Bullocks, we can and will share information. The semantic web is upon us – let’s share – let’s talk.
