What do I have to do

October 5, 2001 by Michael Boyle

to support the new Weblogs.Com XML-RPC interface? I’m sure some will ask the question, “why should I have to support this system. Shouldn’t it be supporting me?” I’m not asking that question, because for me the give and take on both ends is perfectly fine, I give to it, it gives back to me. But there’s a leap here that many won’t really see the point in making. Will that break a system that, above all, is fundamentally about engaging the network effects that come from being able to join easily?
