Over the last week or two I’ve been beta testing the TrustedPlaces API, by building an iPhone and Mobile applications, and yesterday I put live PlacesByDave.com. TrustedPlaces liked the application, and it now runs their official iPhone application over at http://trustedplaces.com/iphone.

I’ve not 100% finished playing with their API, so you might see another feature or two appear. Watch this space!

P.S. thanks all for the feedback, please carry on!

It uses quotationsbook.com’s feeds. Basically, you remember the quote, and, in-turn get a secure password. For example, search for keyword anarchy, and you’ll find the quote “Freedom without obligation is anarchy. Freedom without obligation is democracy“, which as a password is “fwoiafwoid“.
