Google AJAX Search API Playground
Wow, really neat example of what you can do with AJAX on a blog. All using the Google API. This is a great example of how to create an API, and then create some killer uses of your API, that just drive more traffic to you, which is in this case, Google.
I can barely get this blog to layout correctly (the MT templates aren't exactly simple to understand) but perhaps someday I can aspire to add this...

getting your moveable type blog to be UTF-8
there's probably another way to do this, but it's pretty easy to get your moveable type blog to spit out UTF-8 so it flips your readers' browsers to the right encoding.
just put a file called .htaccess in the root of your blog directory with the following code:
addType 'text/html; charset=UTF-8' html
addType 'application/xml; charset=UTF-8' xml
that's it.
