Extremely simple RESTful word server in Flask.
The server returns the JSON object { "Word": "random word" } when invoked.
JavaScript for an Octopress aside to call the service is included.
This is intended as the simplest example of a RESTful service, together with a jQuery $.ajax() call to invoke it.*
A demo is available at Public Sphere
*A jQuery $.get() call could be substituted for $.ajax().
