Re: Facebook and Twitter (was RE: REST vs. RESTful)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Mark Giffin, who is NOT my Facebook friend, and whose Tweets I
absolutely do not follow, said (about RESTful):
I do agree that it's a silly term. It's hard to define easily. But it's
used.
Fielding may not use it but in my experience lots of people and
companies do. One example is a good book, RESTful Web Services by
Richardson and Ruby (Oreilly), which has a nice thorough explanation of
the area and its history. I had a recent client who does web services
who definitely used the term RESTful in reference to its web services.
Twitter calls one of its APIs a "REST API":
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api
Facebook calls it REST too, although they say they are deprecating
their
REST API:

"You must be logged in to see this page."
I don't click every link that people send in their
Techwhirl posts, but I do chase a fair number of
them, over the months and years. I used to be annoyed
by similar bounces from NYT references/links, when you
had to subscribe to see articles.
So, as a complete Facebook outsider (so far), I'm curious:
Do you Facebook members generally have comprehensive
entries and ongoing participation? Or do some of you
have "skeleton" memberships with the absolute minimum
of personal/professional info, maintained purely so
you can have access to alerts and material that others
might send using Facebook links?
Twitter - same question.
