Using API's won't make you convert better than not using them.
Really wonder why people get so crazy about API's?... Really wondering, unless im missing some "SECRET" of the api..
I guess nobody will answer me, right?

It's pretty simple, actually: APIs allow you to automate tasks in a predictable fashion. If you can build it by hand, you can build 1,000 of them in a few minutes with an API.
So, let's take a blog and a tube, for example. If a sponsor has an API, I can suck down all of their content they way *I* want it (not how their RSS feed makes me have it), and display it the way *I* want it.
Not wanting to have that flexibility, power, and availability shows a poor understanding of online marketing, or is just plain laziness.
Does that make better sense?
