In recent weeks a significant amount of discussion has been ongoing as to the future of Weblog APIs. At issue is that there are two similar, but different Web service APIs in use – the Blogger and MetaWeblog APIs. Within each of those APIs are various interoperability and implementation issues and even some extensions. The community clearly wants one tool-agnostic API that all can utilize and integrate tools with, but there is differing views as to how this will and should happen. Full post on my O'Reilly Weblog.
