DN... and AP.. what? - welcome to the world of DNS, API, WikiScan and many more fun things :)

DNS (domain name servers) are used everyday.  It is fascinating how things taken for granted has so much steps, little details, and information hidden behind.
API (application programming interface) is useful for platforms such as Twitter and Facebook.
Wikipedia Scanner is really interesting because we can enter organization name or domain name, look up their edits and rate up or down on their fishiness.
There are also Facebook and Twitter platforms that integrate DNS and API for our everyday use.
They are all useful, fun, and forever-growing although it is not definite whether they will keep up what they have achieved so far.
