You Think There Are a Lot of APIs Now? Wait Until Everythng Has An API

  Nice! Finally where I've always wanted to be... The future!

  There aren't a lot of real APIs. Google has deprecated their APIs for search, Twitter is very restricted with their API and Facebook has a lot of issues with their API. The irony is that Microsoft is/was more open about their APIs than the web.

  Title (on HN) is a bit misleading - maybe intentionally so, I'm not sure. The linked article refers to "Evrything", a specific service, having an API.

    Thats actually based upon the double meaning of the company name. Get it? The company Evrything wants "every thing" to have any API. Not misleading, its a play on words.

      Completely misleading. What Evrything is going to be providing is not at all similar to every object on earth having its own, specific API.

  I eagerly await the Wikipedia of Data, but I think it would at least have to be an open, non-profit type operation to be successful. I don't think the commercial sector is capable of that degree of cooperation and long-term vision.
