Google Reader API
Niall Kennedy has documented an API
for Google Reader, beating Google to a public release of how developers can build their own feed-reading applications
atop Google's engine. An update to Niall's original post reveals that the product manager of Google Reader confirmed
the accuracy of Niall's work, and asserted that Google built the API first, then contstructed Google Reader as just one
example of what could be done. The implication here is that Google might well develop new feed-reading
applications--something to look forward to. Further, Google plans to release an official API before long, opening the
doors to third-party applications.

1. Seriously, I'm curious to see what kind of application will emerge from that API. Everybody is raving about the big G (with reasons) but except in a kind of encyclopedia or content application, I cannot find any valid concept where to use the API. As a webmaster, I will not use it to provide new links for my visitors because I will loose them for another site. Of couse, for Wikipedia or Encarta, it's a must-have... but what use can you make from it for smaller websites?
