The 80legs Blog: "In fact, in an older but still applicable interview with Berners-Lee, he talks about why a open, linked data web is by far preferable than APIs for data access.
There is a foundational, DNA-level need to share data. Without openness, you loose the full value and impede any future innovation in the process.
APIs absolutely have benefits – but only when we are not beholden to them – when we can use them rationally, strategically, and carefully. And when data isn’t at the crux of your site, service or application."
