Marc Hedlund has written about the new Web Services APIs that Bloglines recently announced.
This article will take a look at the new Bloglines Web Services and their effect on the RSS/Atom landscape. We'll look at the bandwidth issues surrounding RSS/Atom aggregators, and how the Bloglines Web Services help to conserve bandwidth; then examine the APIs and what they offer; and finally, present a complete, three-pane desktop RSS/Atom reader written in just 150 lines of code, using the Groovy programming language.
It is cool to see the Bloglines new services, and how quickly Marc could whip together a 3-pane GUI using Groovy!
