StreetFire developer API, take all you want!

Noticed a lot of "" icons all over the site? Guess what? The StreetFire developer API is now available! This means that search results, featured videos, recent uploads, folders, heck even a single user's favorite videos all generate RSS feeds (RSS explained). What does this mean for you? Well, if you have a browser like Firefox or Safari, you can now make "live bookmarks" of your favorite StreetFire video selections. Better yet, if you know how to program, you can use our RSS feeds to build a widget that will display search results, recent videos, or even show latest comments for the latest videos. Here are some examples.

Latest uploads by Slick
Search results for the word "Camaro"

So, what can you do with this? Well, if you run a Mitsubishi Website you can show a feed of recent WRX videos . Better yet, why not mix together feeds with WRX , Subaru , EVO , STi , and Rally ? Now if you're a real HTML ninja, you can crack open some AJAX programing and really get inventive... How about a Mash-Up of a classified web site, with StreetFire car videos to show examples of the car? How about a Google Maps mash up showing videos from various tracks? Chances are, you guys can dream up better ideas than I can.
