I saw this article on the BBC and knew instantly that this would be significant for our Portfolio interoperability community. But how significant? The most helpful blogposts that I saw to begin with were

• Seb Schmoller put me on to
• Marc Andreessen who has also done
• a followup on the same topic

Then I was thinking who to else would be most in a position to comment, and I thought of

• Ben Werdmuller of Curverider (and Elgg of course)
• who has also posted on Curverider’s blog – more technically perhaps

I hope these links are helpful to people.

The official API is here, along with much other information including a video.

More recently, our Scott Wilson has added his informed reflections.
