SharedBook, and more on Open APIs
I should point out that a company called SharedBook is developing a similar system to the Open API I wrote about earlier.
They have developed a:
unique, on demand reverse publishing platform to help businesses and consumers extract, manipulate and publish the Internet content that is most important to them in the era of Web 2.0, a time when billions of pieces of content - text, data and photos as well as audio and video - appear on the Internet first.
For a closer look, check out SharedBook's pitch at the DEMO 07 conference.
SharedBook's system is currently only available to their strategic partners (like Legacy.com), but they are building an API to their production system that will allow developers to transfer data to the SharedBook platform:
SharedBook now has an Open API (Application Programming Interface). Now anyone can write a program that will transfer data to the SharedBook platform and utilize our full functionality to create revenue-producing books, both online and off.
I see a lot of potential in a service like this and I look forward to it going live.
