As I learned from attending the just completed Convio Summit in Austin, Texas, a discussion about APIs and databases fortunately doesnt have to be technical. YouTube , Google Maps , DIGG , TypePad , MySpace , Facebook , Plaxo, or Salesforce , then youve likely run across an API. Other providers, such as Blackbaud may follow their lead.

At first blush, although Kintera officially got out the door first, announcing Connect weeks ago, and delivering the APIs and docs on Friday, their play is a good start, but Convio, announcing Open tomorrow, appears to be ahead in terms of providing real openness. Convio has, seemingly, gotten some serious Web 2.0 apps out there.
