I’ve worked with a couple of API websites in the past and I’ve always been interested on the concept of running websites which are supplied with continuous amounts of free content. Furthermore, people are now creating scripts that are meant to utilize these APIs.

Anyway, I found this great website with a list of numerous APIs on the web. If any programmer wants to take up this opportunity, go nuts! My prize API-based website is Vol3D, which pulls videos from Revver itself and uses my affiliate ID to display them for money!

I was pretty amazed when I heard a company as prominent as DreamHost have a security leak as massive as 3,500 FTP accounts. Caydel was one of the unfortunate customers who had his account bypassed. Apparently he noticed a ton of spam links placed on his website, but didn’t think of anything at the time. Nevertheless, DreamHost still hasn’t discovered the security hole.

If anyone is looking for a new hosting company, I would recommend Sixty6 Hosting.

I really thought this was an odd combination, since I would have never expected eBay to be even remotely interested in anything in the social bookmarking area. Nevertheless, it has happened yesterday and we can only see what eBay has in store for StumbleUpon.

According to the senior directory of eBay, Michael Buhr, they will keep the same management, but will incorporate some of their own staff (him for example) to work with the StumbleUpon team and enhance their experience, as well as incorporate them with eBay. Michael Buhr also commented:

StumbleUpon is a great fit within our goal of pioneering new communities based on commerce and sustained by trust. StumbleUpon’s downloadable toolbar provides an engaging and unique experience to its users, but it is the similarities in our approaches to the concept of community that make it such a compelling addition to eBay.

I’m guessing the obvious that eBay would probably use StumbleUpon to help users share auctions that they find interesting or unique.
