API management
Here's a post by Michael Arrington of TechCrunch about a company formed to aid the sharing of APIs. I don't recall seeing anything about using the power of APIs in automation communication. Anyone out there willing to share some ideas? Is it a coming big thing? Send me a note or post a comment. I'm curious.

 Mashery API Management Service is Open For Business.

API management service Mashery has come out of stealth mode tonight and is now offering documentation support, community management and access control for companies wishing to offer public or private APIs. This is an exciting launch.

An API, or Application Program Interface, is the interface that allows developers to leverage some one else[base ']s data or functionality to create mashups. The discourse around data sharing and collaboration has largely moved beyond urging companies to offer APIs - now the task at hand is to make the offering of quality APIs easy. That[base ']s what Mashery offers as a service.
