Tried posting a comment on Simon's blog but it wasn't working. So here you go Simon:
This is an amazing product - not just because of the technology, but the implications for the future of news. In fact, I think this is much bigger than the NYT API launch that some people are comparing it to. Just wanted to say congratulations!

- danw 18y agoAdvantages over the NYTimes article search api is The Guardian provides full article text and allows you to use the content on your site/app alongside your own advertising. Disadvantage is it seems to have less structures metadata than the NYT (from what I can see currently). I'm looking forward to most newspapers having apis letting you correlate coverage across multiple sources (hopefully with a consistent interface)
- simonw 18y agoWe have a nod towards a consistent interface in the Guardian API in that we offer an Atom output format - it's pretty basic at the moment, but we're looking for community feedback to help us make the Atom version really useful.
