  2. Look here for the xml-rpc interface by codepunk · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Google xml-rpc interface

    I personally refuse to support and or recommend anyone using SOAP web services due to the patent fiasco. I asked on the xml-rpc list if anyone knew of a xml-rpc gateway and Dave Winer immediately jumped to the challange and put up a public gateway.

    Thanx Dave
