Failed Deals Replace Boom in New York Real Estate - NYTimes.com

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 09:16:03 -0700

"After seven years of nonstop construction, skyrocketing rents and sales prices, and a seemingly endless appetite for luxury housing that transformed gritty and glamorous neighborhoods alike, the credit crisis and the turmoil on Wall Street are bringing New York’s real estate boom to an end." Funny, you say that like it's bad thing.

Netflix API: Looking good

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 08:19:46 -0700

Netflix was pretty much the last place I was Web 2.0 style share cropping, creating value without a way to get it out. The Netflix API has been rumored for a long time, but with today’s release they really did an excellent job.

REST, Atom, and Javascript APIs? CHECK
Access to personal information using OAuth? CHECK
Developer blog? CHECK
API Explorer? CHECK (though why it’s a Firefox plugin, I can only guess)

Also versioned documentation, and a quite reasonable set of branding guidelines.

The Netflix Web APIs provide the ability for you to integrate Netflix user services into your application. The APIs provide the following capabilities:

Performing searches of movies, TV series, cast members, and directors

Retrieving catalog titles, including details about the title such as name, box art, director, cast, etc.

Determining the subscriber’s relationship to a specific title, e.g, in queue, saved, available on DVD, etc.

Managing and displaying queues for users

Providing conveniences such as auto-completion of partial search terms typed by a user.

Displaying a user’s ratings and reviews.

Including functional Add and Play buttons in your web application.

Congratulations to Netflix, and Mashery.

Jasmine introduced me to the work of Korean artist Kwang-Young Chun who sculpts textured swooping surfaces that veer between shaggy and organic, to austere moonscapes out of bits of hand dyed, inked, and folded paper. Gorgeous stuff.
