Update: Jeff Jarvis asks a great question about what people could do with this data. It’ll be fun to find out.
I was re-reading Matt Waite’s post on molten data and then read about NPR releasing an API for parts of their content. The two seem linked.
I know the East Coast Times is working on some sort of API but I’ve been thinking about how we could open things up and allow folks access to so much of our good stuff. Why not start with just articles, using dates, keywords or writers as the inputs. Moving on from there, you could add photos, video and then more of our data apps. That seems pretty straightforward to me.
