"Aaron Straup Cope, one developer who wrote a script for APIs in Perl, said he sees the move as validation for distributed computing or Web services, but he added, 'I doubt that (APIs) will make the Earth move.'
"'Being able to 'plug' Google-ness in to your Web site will, if nothing else, provide an example of 'distributed computing' that is not as abstract as those that have come before it,' Cope said. He also cited the development of cross-publishing functionality in Web logs."
"Cope said Google's APIs give further credence to the concept of an 'Internet operating system,' where people can pull in or manipulate content via a remote function as a page is being published. 'That is, there is a growing interconnectedness among pages, sites (and) applications.'"
