A while ago I made some stuff to support the Microsoft TAG technology using technologies like java and php. For a while I’ve been monitoring their progress, but it seems that besides some fixes and enhances to the reader apps nothing is being done anymore to provide developers with a better API. When following the questions at the getsatisfaction site there is still some room for improvements.
I really hope that they still extend the API, but my feelings are that the project has halted except for some marketing efforts.
Things I would like to see are:
- Getting a list of your existing tags/categories and their status
- Getting reports on the usage statistics of a tag. (times resolved, mobile device types, platforms,…)
- Deleting tags and categories.
Although I prefer to keep all the Tag information in-house there are already solutions available that allow you to monitor a Tag campaign. Check out Microsoft Tag Perfect Metrics over Lunadevelopment.com

If you are a developer using the API I would love to hear which features you would like to see added.
