[cross-posted from the outside.in blog]

This October I gave a presentation at Mashery's Business of APIs conference, speaking about how our API provides hyperlocal headlines on CNN.com as a case study for how APIs can power business relationships between tiny startups and multinational corporations.

The slides and (ack!) video from the conference are up, so you can check them out. In all honesty, I still haven't worked up the nerve to watch the video myself, so perhaps, my friend, you could watch it and leave me encouraging remarks in the comments? Please???

Slides


For those of you who need a summary version, I think @Mashery captured my main point nicely:

L. Sperber from Outside.in says APIs remove friction from a business relationship.

Interested in using the Outside.in API? Check out our documentation at developers.outside.in—and the sweet sample code posted last week by our lead API developer Brian Moseley.

Since I've been on a blogging rampage lately, I guess I should post these slides that I presented at NextNY's Product Manager School last month.

[I did tweet the slides in a somewhat timely manner, but that doesn't really count, now does it?]

Being pathologically shy, giving a talk to 60 people isn't exactly my idea of party time. A certain Kevin Prentiss scoured the internet for NYC-based product managers and conned me into agreeing to present. And I am ever-so-grateful to him for doing so—and for offering a brilliant last-minute reorganization of my presentation and some helpful tips for focusing my nervous energy. </3

Anyway. I think the presentation went pretty well considering that I was nearly hysterical with nerves. I even had a good time.

My slides are embedded below, and the notes on each slide, which I think you can only see if you actually go to slideshare, are packed with all the detail I went over IRL. Enjoy.
