Our schools need to re-evaluate how much time we spend on print alone and start broadening our focus. Joe Brennan, among others, does a great job connecting the dots between writing and video. Unfortunately, most of our educators have difficulty understanding the value and nuances of creating and viewing effective video.

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.

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.
