We the People, the White House petition site launched in 2011, will soon be available from third-party apps and websites. At 2pm ET today, the Obama administration will start taking applications for a limited beta of the We the People Write API, which lets people sign petitions directly from non-governmental websites. One of the things weve heard from the beginning is a strong desire from our users to be able to submit signatures and petitions from other sites — and still receive an official response, writes Ezra Mechaber of the White Houses digital strategy office. Right now, developers who join the closed beta wont be able to sign real petitions or let their readers do so, and theres no timetable for release.
