We are really excited about the launch of the Greenthing API and Labs. Well done to Red and the Greenthing team.

There is a good overview of the API on Programmable Web and some more ideas over at WebServiceable.

I think there are many opportunities to use the Greenthing backend as a way to encourage people to develop better habits and reward them with social status for doing so. We have been interested in doing this for companies and organisations for some time, so perhaps the API is the spur we need to make this happen...
