Talk:API Apps

At this point in the page: http://wiki.dreamhost.com/API_Apps#Maps Jon Hassall suggests he is providing an DH API 'app'. http://www.jonhassall.com/hitmap/

This map DH api seems to be more of a hosted service than a downloadable app. To my mind, a DH api app should be hosted on our own account and not by someone else. No mention is given of which api capabilities should be enabled on jonhassall.com. There's merely a form to type in your API key and your DH user account.

You're basically giving Jon Hassall access to - at the very least - your web logs. If the API key you provide is set to allow all API components, you've just given him the keys to your entire user account.

Why on earth would I do this?
