• Twitter: A Marketer's Duct Tape
  
  As Chris pointed out on his blog , the range of applications is spectacular, from providing truly instant online commentary for any off-line event, to the visualization of Super Bowl tweets developed by the New York Times , to Pepsi's integration of Twitter with geographic information at the spectacularly popular South by Southwest festival, to Whole Foods tweeting recipes . The interfaces to the capability are simple and well defined in their Applications Programming Interface (API), which makes it easy to plug into their messaging capability. Duct tape is universally useful because it is incredibly simple, almost infinitely flexible , easily available, and cheap.

• Google's Sneaky Launch of Latitude's Location-Sharing API
  
  One of them is a blog badge for sharing your location publicly on a website. These have generated a lot of press, but I haven't seen much discussion about the first sighting of the Latitude API.

Google has extended their location sharing service Latitude ( Radar post ) with the first set of Latitude Apps . The other updates

• Spicing Up Your Blog: Apture vs. Zemanta Balloons
  
  We started by testing out Apture's WordPress plug-in (on my personal blog ) and were very happy with the results. Zemanta is a feature-rich service for bloggers and has a great API that developers can use to automatically discover keywords in bodies of text in lots of different scenarios. Balloons is now automatically included in the blogging plug-in from Zemanta, which is very easy to get started with. Pop-up info windows: someone had to do it right, right? After years of pushy, worthless little window overlays that pop-up when you hover over a link, there are

• Building Modern Web Apps? Better Have A Deep Competency in Web 2.0, Open APIs, Widgets, Social Apps, and Much More
  
  Federated applications, atomized content and functionality, 3rd party product ecosystems through open APIs, and much more are required to establish a strong and resilient network effect which fends off competitors that are themselves bringing these potent new competencies to bear. In fact, one of the things we emphasize over and over again in our conference workshops and in Web 2.0 A quick search of the job aggregator SimplyHired tells the tale: Nearly a thousand Web designer positions are available while only 36 OpenSocial and 40 open API positions are open, for example.

• Developers: Never Mind the APIs, Here's YQL Execute
  
  "I Tried YQL Execute and All I Got Was an Authenticated Javascript API Proccesing Layer in the Cloud" There's a great amount of data available on the Web in APIs or even straight HTML. But traditionally, it's the heavy lifting (the broad variety of programming languages used in APIs, the challenges presented by complicated authentications, the occasional need for massive pipes) that has made accessing and sorting data into useful applications a laborious process. It's all there for the parsing - and parsed data from social media in particular is held to be a goldmine.
