Xoomle improvements
eclectic: Xoomle ... is a very nice RESTful interface to the Google API... Paul Prescod provided some constructive comments and suggestions though. Paul's top comment is that the characters "method=" in the URL (note: not the design, but the characters themselves) make it less than perfect case study in REST. Weird. [Sam Ruby]
I think Paul's comments are really helpful. The 3 values for "method=" provide 3 totally different services, each requiring different parameters. It makes a lot of sense to make 3 URLs for each service.
