Adding our news updates
By far the simplest and easiest way to syndicate our news information is to integrate our RSS XML feed into your website’s code. Reading in RDF XML is easy (using something like SimplePie for PHP) and the web standard for syndication.
You can find our RSS feed here:
For pingbacks, use the XML-RPC gateway (Blogger API etc):

Putting our fundraising update figures on your website
We have a simple SOAP/XML web service that can provide you with raw real-time data on the amount of money we’ve raised and investor details that you can use in server-side processes, Flash movies, software application or any other technological service that can understand SOAP/HTTP/XML.
WSDL file:
http://www.michaelsresignation.com/ws-update/mr.update.wsdl
SOAP Server:
http://www.michaelsresignation.com/ws-update/ws.update.php
Method:
updateMRFundStats ( string REFERRING_DOMAIN )
Returns:
Array (
[investors] => 3
[TOTAL] => 1030.00
[percent] => 2
[updated] => Wed 14th Jan 2009 16:51PM
)
NB: The SOAP server is implemented quickly and dirtily using nuSOAP (PHP) that can be a little buggy, e.g. PHP5’s native SOAP functions have trouble processing it.
The data is automatically available in standard formats that you can include in pages, Flash movies or other applications:
