   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.    
       
    VZ> and by the way the "hotdoged phenomenon" is that already registerd

   Same here, many users request point for mobile usage.
