July 20th, 2009FriendFeed’s Latest API Spreads Real-Time Goodness
July 20th, 2009
FriendFeed is launching version 2 of their API for beta testing today, adding a plethora of new features for developers to work with. We’ve written in the past that FriendFeed has long been in the driver’s seat for experimentation for social media and today’s announcement reinforces that thought.
With the new version of FriendFeed’s API, developers can replicate that real time stream feeling, direct message users from other apps/sites, and add file attachments. Developers can now add the never-ending stream of updates as a user interface feature, and the API supports “long polling” to be able to speed up how fast feeds show up in the stream.

Wonga: How the Net Should Kill the Finance Industry
July 20th, 2009
What’s awesome about the Internet is how it breaks up monopolistic markets where middlemen unfairly gobble up outsized fees, leaving us little choice but to keep paying them. It happened with software, it happened with music, and it’s happening now with media. But there are a few sectors of our economy that have stayed mostly undisrupted — one of them is banking.
Sure there are companies like eTrade that opened up the market for buying and selling stocks. But it didn’t fundamentally change the market that much, it just moved part of it online. The thought for a long time was that banks needed to be too controlled, too regulated to be turned over to the Wild West of the Net. Then the credit meltdown hit and we saw just how reckless these so-called safe and regulated institutions were.
The time is right for the Web to unleash its full market-destroying power on the finance world and while I was in the UK I found a company making a promising start: Wonga.
Now, Wonga would hardly say its role is to upend the world’s financial institutions. But it’s one of the most dramatic examples I’ve seen of a Web company using what the Web does well to remake lending.

Congressman proposes rate hike on unsafe sex
July 20th, 2009
An Indiana Republican has what he thinks is a novel idea in helping ameliorate America’s health care crisis: raise premiums on those who have sex without a condom.
And yes, he made this proposal in public. (”And we thought paying for sex was a no-no, especially for scandal-wary Members of Congress,” Roll Call’s Emily Heil and Elizabeth Brotherton quip.)
Indiana Republican Steve Buyer raised his cash-for-condoms proposal Thursday during a markup of the healthcare bill in the Energy and Commerce Committee, Roll Call notes. Under his plan, those who engage in risky behavior, smoking, not exercising, and having unprotected sex should have to pay a higher premium for their health care.
