looking for developers who believe in APIs and good karma

[John Craig-6]

Hi Everyone,

I'm not a total random interloper -- Hans suggested it would be OK to post an ultra-brief survey to the Talk list. I'm a Columbia grad student here in NYC working with a real-life client (a major media organization) on a communications plan to support the release of an API that would expose my client's robust database of news content. This survey is super short but could go a long way in helping a most appreciative student hand in a plan that actually earns him a degree! Many, many thanks in advance for your consideration -- and to be clear, this survey is strictly for non-commercial, academic purposes! Cheers, John

Hi, i've filled the survey. I think you should add 'Search engines' regarding to where to find information about an API / project, the very first thing i do is to type it's name in Google. One option that seems impossible to me is a developer looking for information about an API on Twitter, unless it's about the Twitter API :)

I hope it helps

Best regards,
Fernando

Hi John -

Just took the survey, it's well-composed and pretty comprehensive, but I  have to say I agree with Fernando, I'm aware it may be too late to alter the survey but I think item on search engines one uses to find information on APIs. Whereas I might find information about an API on a blog, etc. - if I was *looking* for information on an API that could do x thing - I would definitely be using a search engine.

Best,
Will

BTW - the survey had a glitch for me (Firefox on Mac) that garbled and
didn't allow me to enter text for "other" on sources for API info that
would move me to use them. I wanted to enter-it doesn't matter where I
found out from or who it's from, what matters is that it fits my needs
and is robust.
