Some CrunchBase API Stats and Apps
Henry Work Sat, 30 Aug 2008 00:58:44 -0000
Six weeks ago we launched an API for our technology database, CrunchBase. The idea was to give away lots of clean, structured data about the companies we cover, data that could be used to build new services and improve upon existing ones. Since then we've seen a number of impressive things built on top of the API. And the traffic has started to add up: between July 15th and August 15th we fulfilled nearly 800,000 API requests, compared to ~1.3m page views for the website itself. We now have over 15 projects hooked up to CrunchBase with many others on the way. Developers interested in using CrunchBase data for their own projects should check out the API documentation. Today we wanted to highlight a few of the more sophisticated product integrations to date.

Ok Someone At Google Is Just Messing With My Head
Michael Arrington Fri, 29 Aug 2008 20:29:48 -0000
A couple of days ago I posted an email that I received from Google letting me know that I wouldn't be able to attend a Google/Vanity Fair party at the Democratic National Convention that I never knew about and didn't ask to go to. Other people who also didn't know about the party received the same email. Today I get another email, also from Google, inviting me to attend the mirror party at the Republican Convention in Minneapolis next Thursday. Is this for real or are they just going to cancel on me again? Get out of my head, Google. I will not be fooled into RSVPing only to have you kick me out later. :-) Email is below:
