DESCRIPTION

This module provides a Perl interface to the Simpy social bookmarking service. See http://www.simpy.com/simpy/service/api/rest/

THIS IS AN ALPHA RELEASE. This module should not be relied on for any purpose, beyond serving as an indication that a reliable version will be forthcoming at some point the future.

This module is being developed as part of the "tagged wiki" component of the Transpartisan Meshworks project ( http://www.transpartisanmeshworks.org ). The "tagged wiki" will integrate social bookmarking and collaborative content development in a single application.

EXPORT

None by default.

REST API Methods

See http://www.simpy.com/simpy/service/api/rest/ for more information about required and optional parameters for these methods.
