One of the great things about openness and transparency is the ability for people to mash together various things to suit themselves. So, look at this:<\/i><\/p>\n

Listening to: Death of an Interior Decorator<\/a><\/b><\/span> from the album “Transatlanticism<\/a><\/span>” by Death Cab For Cutie<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I added that with a single click in ecto, the blog editing software I use to create and publish posts. Ecto has a nice add-on that grabs the info from the song I am listening to and puts it in the post. I can set up templates with formatting so it has the links, etc. But the original template created Google search links. I simply remade the template so it links to iTunes.<\/i><\/p>\n

I’m doing the same thing with Twitterfeed<\/a>. This has allowed me to push blog posts from my different blogs (Spreading Science<\/a>, Path to Sustainable<\/a> and A Man with a PhD<\/a>). Now I’m seeing if I can push posts to my Facebook account.<\/i><\/p>\n

So, a simple posting can also copy the post to both Twitter ad Facebook. It looks like I do a lot but it all comes from simply clicking one button. That is what open APIs and other aspects of the web allow us to do.<\/i><\/p>\n

It all makes it easier for the right people to get the right information at the right time.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
