How powerful are open APIs?
Within hours of the terrorist bombing attack on London’s mass transit system, check out how this one site mixed data from Google Maps, Flickr, and BBC News — all of which offer open APIs — to provide a contextual view of the story that you couldn’t get from any one of those sources alone.

If you think anything I write here represents the opinions of anybody but myself, you need more help than I can give you. The opinions are all mine, folks. Nobody else's. ESPECIALLY not my employer's.
If that's too hard to understand... well, I'm sorry. There's only so much I can do. I'm not a therapist, and I'm not a miracle worker. (Unless you consider staying employed in this economy a miracle.) I wish I could help you work through your delusional belief that I'm speaking for anyone else but myself. Honestly, I do. But in the end, that's a monkey you'll have to get off your back on your own. Sorry.
