Google has released a YouTube SDK for .NET for those interested in programmatically accessing YouTube from a .NET or ASP.NET application. The YouTube API is built on top of Google's GData protocol, extending it with specific data classes contained in the Google.GData.YouTube namespace.
Microsoft proposes OData as the web data protocol while Google uses GData. Microsoft invites Google to join forces with them in adopting OData. Will they do it?
WfXML-R is a lightweight approach to BPM that utilizes several Web 2.0 standards and protocols including Atom/AtomPub, GData, OpenSearch and OpenID/OAuth.
In contrast to Google, who base their public RESTful services on the Atom Publishing Protocol (APP), Microsoft has found the need to go down a different route and has introduced Web3S.
