For anyone skeptical of the claim "90% of Expedia's business comes through their API," it appears to actually be 90% of the Expedia Affiliate Network's business [1], which is far less interesting.

Remember when we used to have "protocols" instead of "APIs"?

Yes!

Every time I see API in HN I think about language/OS APIs, only to discover the theme is about protocols most of the time.

Misleading headline. Seems that Facebook's API is still up and running. Holla.
