The 7 Greatest API’s

Now if you're not sure what an API is or what you should do with it, then I suggest checking out some reference materials on programming in php, and some of the newer systems such as AJAX, and RUBY.

As a marketer if you are not familiar with the use of API's, I highly suggest that you start investigating the possibilities you can create with them. Having the ability to directly manipulate Google's data for example can be a great asset if you have the vision to develop the next great application.

For developers and marketers alike, API's provide a vital tool for creating new applications that interact with websites. I've listed the top 7 in my opinion below in no particular order, just a nice easy reference list for delevopers.

In particular the continued growth of Facebook is a developers candyland at the moment. There is a ton of money sitting in the Facebook coffers for developers that step up and make some seriously good applications. Get out there and get programming! Enjoy::
