Ask HN: Are there any open-source APIs to do what Color wants to do for photos?

6 pointszaqfu2 comments

There are lots of really awesome projects I can think of that involve knowing who is physically close to you. Color apparently can do this (though I haven't used it, so I can't speak to how well it's done)--are there any open source projects that can do it (or are working on it)?

Google Latitude, while not open source, has an API: http://code.google.com/apis/latitude/

You also might want to check ProgrammableWeb. They have a reasonably comprehensive directory of APIs: http://www.programmableweb.com/

We've got one privately, and we'll be launching one publicly within the next few weeks - email chris@lazerclub.co for a preview!

(or use Google Latitude.)
