  • Facebook in 2010: no longer a walled garden
    With MySpace I'm able to use my account to sign into other sites via OpenID, share my activity using Activity Streams, build applications using OpenSocial, interact with their APIs using OAuth and access APIs that not only allow the creation of new content within MySpace's garden but also extract data from it. Facebook joined the board of the OpenID Foundation , released two-way APIs around status, notes, pictures and videos , hosted a user experience summit focused on OpenID and released a blog commenting widget powered by Connect . A lot of what I've been working on the past two years has been built on the assumption that the model that social networks use today will fundamentally change.

  • Twilio’s Telephony API Now Lets Applications Send And Receive SMS Messages
    As with its telephony API, Twilio’s SMS functionality is meant to make previously complex tasks as simple as possible. For example, a developer over at the Washington State Department of Transportation used Twilio’s phone API to build a call-in service that lets local residents call a number to listen to the schedule of the local ferry. That said, I think Twilio could appeal to a much broader set of users if they built some kind of wizard Back in November 2008, we covered the launch of Twilio , a startup that’s akin to an Amazon Web Services for telephony apps.
