Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

Nat on O’Reilly Radar does it again, this time explaining GData from Google in terms I get:

GData is just Atom/RSS for reading, Atom Publishing for writing, and A9 stored queries for searching.

Interestingly:

There’s a huge move within Google away from SOAP and even REST-style ad hoc APIs and towards GData instead.

and

They’re building APIs to your Google-stored data via GData

Lastely the architect of GData is the same chap who did Microsoft’s HailStorm.
