>RSS doesn't really solve the write-API problem though
My post (>>10) I describe that it is possible for you to *pull* content automatically from other websites by requesting RSS feeds from them, and then writing the content of the feed to your site. Its an alternative to having a write API where other sites *push* content.

I think pull is better than push, it minimizes traffic (you're not being hit for every update on every website) and gives time for the upstream content provider to delete any illegal content before your aggregator dials in to fetch it.
