API
So when is there going to be a developer API? I'm ready to start creating some widgets to show off who is a one true fan of my sites.

Inappropriate?We have been talking about this internally from the start. Thanks for the push to make it happen. I think the potential integrations could be really awesome.
I have added a ticket for it in our project system to make sure it doesn't slip through the cracks as we are setting priorities. -
Inappropriate?Figured this was on your radar, but didn't see a thread here about it, and thought I might add one.

Inappropriate?Please let us know what specific API calls you would be interested in. So far, I'm thinking:
* Is this person a fan? (Includes bit to signify the One True Fan of a site)
* Who are the N biggest fans of this domain?
* Who has viewed this page?I’m excited

Inappropriate?In addition to what you describe above:
Add badges and overall score too to the info available on a user.
For a domain, I'd like to be able to also list for any short links associated with the site (or page). -
Inappropriate?It would also be nice to be able to create the short links to a page programmatically, but that might be outside of the scope of OTF. I assume you guys are using awe.sm behind the scenes?

Inappropriate?I would like to take APIs of @linkedin & @onetruefan, normalize the data & tell what content viewed = what jobs people *would* be great for.

Inappropriate?I think you should consider the Twitter route (in their latest upgrade) where everything - even your own stuff - is built by consuming public API's. This always gives the most robust and comprehensive services.
