Announcing libGameFly
Tonight I’m releasing libGameFly, a PHP class for interacting with GameFly.com- the video game rental service. At the moment it’s very simple, just allowing you to expose your GameFly queue as a native PHP class and doing… well, whatever the hell you want with it. I imagine some pretty nifty WordPress widgets coming from this, much like we’ve seen in the area of Netflix widgets.
It’s sad that companies like GameFly still haven’t realized the usefulness of RSS and APIs; exposing this kind of data isn’t just useful for their users and developers, but it’s a vital tool for creating word of mouth on the web these days. The more eyes that see your product, the better off you are; no?
So, if you’re a PHP developer and want to play around with this, you can grab it from http://code.google.com/p/libgamefly/. Enjoy.
I am currently available for contract work! I have over a decade of experience in building appealing, standards-based web designs and applications. Check out
