to ArtBeat API

Hi everyone.

I hope that all of you in Tokyo had a great time at the TAB
anniversary party last week-end. I wasn't there (stuck that I was
halfway across the world) but it seems to have been a great evening.

At the party, one of the API-driven application was demo'd in front of
more than 500 people was the Bubble Machine, developed by Reuben
Stanton of Absent Design:

This is a very cool and creative visualization of the artbeat events:
I was actually struck, for the first time, to see some patterns emerge
in the "most popular" view. Do good events have cool posters or do
attractive posters get more people excited about an event?

Anyway, this reflection aside, many thanks to Reuben for his cool
work, and an opportunity to extend an invitation to API developers: if
you wish to build an app on the artbeat API and host it on your
site(s), that's great, but if you want to play and buid a great app
but don't really know where to host it, talk to us!
