Drew McLellan asks: can your Web site be your API? Let me ask a different question: why is your Web site not your API? Is there a technical reason for that, or are we just conditioned to think that UIs are pretty and APIs are “complex ugly beasts” the need a lot of SOAP? [...] [...] The UI is the API.

I did one on Monday, last minute schedule shuffle, but didn’t get to MashupCamp in time today to do another one.

And I think the Monday one, just wasn’t good. I didn’t get a lot of time to prepare, I knew that upfront but wanted to do it anyway. I’ll have to polish it up and do it again at another event.
