Flattr as a payment(wall) on news sites
blog.flattr.net
on 04/15/2013
Excerpt: It’s a well known fact that news organizations over the world are discussing when and how they should start using a paywall, if they already haven’t. Certainly inevitable if you look at the trends in newspaper industry, where revenue from readers is starting to be higher than the from ads. But there are lot’s of different ways to go, from a rigid wall to an open approach where all material is available with the possibility for readers to pay for what they like. A global payment solution
It’s becoming quite a hassle to read news online. All news sites are implementing their own walls and subscription plans. The problem is of course that we don’t consume content in silos. Never had, never will.... read the full post.

Apigee Announced an API Exchange Friday
www.apify.co
on 04/02/2013
Excerpt: A decade ago, during the first wave of Internet innovation, countless business plans began with the breathless promise of becoming the UN of this or that information exchange. ECommerce and communications would be transformed through the mediation of a neutral “man in the middle”. Here's what happened: the communitarian exchanges failed; businesses that went direct to consumers succeeded; the hope for communal mediation was left to overreaching consortia grasping after fading relevance. Why did the “disintermediated” direct-to-buyer model win? Simple: it was simplicity. The problem with multilateral exchanges is complexity.... read the full post.

The Netflix Tech Blog: Python at Netflix
techblog.netflix.com
on 03/11/2013
Excerpt: We’ve blogged a lot about how we use Java here at Netflix, but Python’s footprint in our environment continues to increase. In honor of our sponsorship of PyCon, we wanted to highlight our many uses of Python at Netflix. Developers at Netflix have the freedom to choose the technologies best suited for the job. More and more, developers turn to Python due to its rich batteries-included standard library, succinct and clean yet expressive syntax, large developer community, and the wealth of third party libraries one can tap into to solve a given problem. Its dynamic underpinnings enable developers to rapidly iterate and innovate, two very important qualities at Netflix.... read the full post.

API Business ROI | APIfy
www.apify.co
on 03/07/2013
Excerpt: Numerous measurements exist for APIs. On the technical level, these metrics are fairly well understood. However, on the business level, there is a great deal of confusion over how the effectiveness of an API program can be accurately measured. Layer 7’s March 14 webinar, ROI for APIs – which will feature input from TechCrunch and AT&T – should help to clear up some of this confusion. In particular, the webinar will focus on how hackthons can be used to gather valuable data for API ROI measurement.

Excerpt: This is the second article in the series about upcoming API Blueprint format changes. As promised earlier I will continue to introduce changes to the API Blueprint Format. Today we will discuss the basics of the New API Blueprint Format upon which we will later build. Markdown
New API Blueprints will be written entirely in Markdown. In addition to Markdown, advanced blueprints will rely on several MultiMarkdown features. However, for discussing basics, all that matters is that the New API Blueprint is completely Markdown from the first line to the end. A Markdown API Blueprint document follows a given structure. At the very heart of this structure is an API endpoint.... read the full post.

Internal APIs are APIs, Too
blog.mashery.com
on 02/18/2013
Excerpt: To round out my discussion of enterprise API strategy, I want to focus on how enterprise’s can use APIs for internal usage. I have already discussed how enterprises can benefit from exposing some of their data to the general public as well as customers and partners. Those are the standard target audiences for API programs.
Not as much attention is paid to APIs that are internally facing. That is not so surprising, considering their purpose. But just because internal APIs don’t get as much notice, does not mean they are any less important to an enterprise.
Companies have a lot of data that is proprietary and can’t be shared outside its doors.... read the full post.

The Netflix Tech Blog: Netflix Queue: Data migration for a high volume web application
techblog.netflix.com
on 02/16/2013
Excerpt: There will come a time in the life of most systems serving data, when there is a need to migrate data to a more reliable, scalable and high performance data store while maintaining or improving data consistency, latency and efficiency.
