Not a little API, just some ftn provider code modification :)

I'm working on a mechanism that allows any content to be shared into hotdoged
using Android sharing technics. It will be very easy.

Bingo! That's what in my nearest plans. Just after the address book :) The
server part will be opensource and will be available to everyone.

Same here, many users request point for mobile usage.
