The Foller.me API is Now Public!

Hey there, I’ve got a few announcements for you today, the first and biggest one is (as you already understood from the title of this post) – the API has been released! Wohooo! Yes, you can now develop your own apps, widgets, gadgets, plugins getting the most out of Foller.me. The API is public, free, no application required, no API key required, totally open to the world! Also, you’ll be so surprised at how simple it is! Take a look at the Foller.me API Documentation Wiki.

Now, the other announcements is that we’ve simplified the relations crawler, as there was no need to show 200,000 maps points, so we’re basically back down to ~ 500. We just thought that nobody would go through all the pages of @mashable’s followers geo locations ;)

And we’ve also shutdown the followers insight section that was released a few weeks ago. Those numbers just make no sense, and hey, we’re trying to keep Foller.me as simple as possible, and we do believe that it’s your apps and widgets that will help us grow together and hopefully take down that [beta] label next month!

P.S. We’re working on a WordPress Foller.me widget, and will release it under the GPL license. Just to give you a simple example of how it may work ;)

Good luck and happy coding!
