NewsGator API Sample Code Feedback

So the NewsGator APIs have finally been announced. One part of the process was to write some sample code, which a Charlie busted me for not providing multi-platform samples. I actually wrote Ruby and Python samples, except that these use the REST API, which is not documented yet. I suppose I could use one of the SOAP toolkits for those languages, except that SOAP in Python or REST seems to be totally, well... yuck.

Later, Ross busted me on the fact that the samples don't use the API token. I actually wrote and uploaded the samples before we added the API token requirement. I did go back and update the sample code, but forgot to deploy it in advance of the announcement. Whoops. The updated sample is available now.
