  • He writes, "I should warn you that this is probably not a particularly suitable topic for a blog - an academic paper might be more appropriate to do the subject full justice."
  • No, there is a supposition that the type of writing in an "academic paper" is a different type of writing from what he is offering here.
  • The same content may very well be presented in either, and the difference lies only in how that content is treated: subject to secret review and editing in the one case, and open scrutiny in the other.

  • "the boundaries between traditional disciplines are dissolving, traditional methods of representing knowledge (books, academic papers, and so on) are becoming less important, and the role of traditional academics or experts are undergoing major change,"
  • These are points that have been captured in a wide body of writings, from Gibson's depiction of Cyberspace to the perceptron of the 1950s and the connectionist literature of the 1980s to populist works such as Rushkoff's Cyberia and the widely popular Cluetrain Manifesto.

  • "The model is free. You can use our ­content elsewhere in the web. What do we get out of it? We want you to help us build an ad network," said Matt McAlister, head of the Guardian Developer Network.
  • To find related Guardian articles, the API can draw on the tagging system from its own content management system, internal search engine for guardian.co.uk provided by Endeca and a related-content service powered by Zemanta. That content is then packaged in standardised formats including XML, JSON and Atom which can easily be added to external sites.
  • "The whole idea is to spread out journalism," ­McAlister said, and APIs can lead to explosive growth.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Twitter's API drives 20 times more ­traffic to the service than its own website does, and Twitter's web market share passed that of social news site Digg in January. Third parties using Twitter's API have developed a huge range of services and applications that have helped drive Twitter's growth spurt.
