I'm curious about a use for blogger, and blog hosting sites in general. We have all these wonderful api to post and query data, but we mostly use this for human readable data. Would it be against the blogger TOS to use these apis to post exclusively machine readable data to a blog? i.e. to use a blog as a datastore for an application? As another example, someone could easily code some sort of presence application ontop of twitter. Would this be against twitter's TOS? This seems like a really neat way to approach reliable transport for a serverless application, so I have to say I'm quite curious as to what the owners of these services think.
