I have made a Silverlight application which can read data from various URLs.
So users of the application who control a website can:
- FTP text and XML files onto their website
- put a clientaccesspolicy.xml in their root directory
- enter their URL in the silverlight application
at which point the silverlight application then begins reading data from their site.
I would like to extend this to less technical users who do not control a website, or aren't adept with FTP, etc.
What is the best service on the web that:
- allows users to publish different kinds of data, e.g. put out text files on web
- allows Silverlight client access (has clientaccesspolicy.xml set up)
Some ideas are:
- free blog services (although then they are limited to a RSS feed, or the silverlight app would have to do some screen scraping)
- Google Docs?
- free cloud services?
What free services allow easy publishing of any kind of data on the web and allow Silverlight client access?
