APIs should be just as easy to use, and work just as seamlessly as the Web so argues API expert Mike Amundsen, whom we caught up with at SXSW this year, where he gave a talk on "evolving the API." We talked with Amundsen about his idea of building out a universal platform, and service registry, for APIs, and the resulting benefits it could bring to APIs (easy upgrading, greater flexibility). We also discussed previous attempts ("web services") that have failed at this task.
