"We are very excited to offer this service and Blogger is the first blogging site which we are supporting directly using an API... We are anticipating for it to be well received due to it's uniqueness and simplicity."It's great to see innovative new Atom API uses from the web community!
"A while back I realized that I really wanted to use Radio to be able to post to some of my blogs that are hosted at Blogger.com and Blogspot.com..."
"So this is it ... the new and improved RadioAtomBridge Tool ... a derivative of the xManilaBloggerBridge Tool which was a derivative of the ManilaBloggerBridge Tool. I'm giving all of this code to Userland to incorporate this into a future version of Radio."
"AwAPI uses a straightforward web-based protocol to receive requests and return data. Known as REST, it allows anyone to request feed traffic data using URLs submitted via HTTP. The data is returned as plain text XML which can be repurposed, transformed, and displayed by applications that you build. Using XML as the output format means testing and exploring AwAPI is as simple as composing an AwAPI URL and then requesting it with a web browser."
"The good news is that this PHP/PEAR implementation is open source and immediately available. Be careful, this is not very seriously tested."

Tired of coming to FeedBurner to analyze your stats? Use the API. Tired of "logging in" via a "browser" to "edit" your feed "settings"? Use the API.
What can't you do with the API? Nothing, with one exception. The API has a built-in limit of 20 burned feeds per user id. We will ratchet this down even lower if it's abused, but that seems like a reasonable number to get started.
