In July, Sony & Neoteny (a Japanese venture capital firm run by blog enthusiast Joi Ito and investor in Six Apart, developers of MovableType) showed a demonstration of how a blogging application (MovableType) and an online photo service (Sony ImageStation) could talk to each other using an XML RPC metaWeblog API. This is an interesting example of how images from an online photo service can be automatically "purposed" and sent to a blogging service while retaining the link to the original image for printing. Granted, this was an experiment, but it is very much along the lines of where some of the opportunities lie for creating a more dynamic digital photo ecosystem.
