RTB might in the future have advertising space (for Blockland related things, not marketing) and you could use an item to promote your server in that space for x hours.

It depends how well other languages can handle it's return. I'll most likely be building a RESTful API so the client will be able to specify the format to use. Example formats would be JSON and XML. PHP has PECL/PEAR packages for JSON so it's fairly easy but most languages should be able to handle XML easily.

It returns JSON data. Most languages handle json.
