(Also are you familiar with http://www.opencalais.com/ ?)

Very cool. I'm definitely interested. How do you foresee people integrating the API? And, roughly, what do you think you'd charge for it? (Also are you familiar with http://www.opencalais.com/ ?)
The first thing I see this service being used is for news readers. Not having to develop this technology themselves will lower the cost/barrier of entry into their markets, so hopefully they can focus on interfaces. Beyond that, I'm sure people could use it to scrape and aggregate information about what people are concerned with around the web.
On charging for it, I'm not sure yet. I was thinking of using a credit model similar to Twilio for payment. Service might be 1c/unique (previously un-fetched article) and .1/0.1c for each fetched (cached) article.
I've run across OpenCalais before and I think it's a great big idea -- I love the idea of a semantic web.
Yep, http://www.txtyourclass.co.uk - Remind101 for the UK, teacher to student text messaging. So far so good!
yes. i started GoodRx (www.goodrx.com) with 2 friends. Trying to fix the broken American health system.
We connect travelers with locals in their destination who can give them experiences that traditional tour companies cannot.
Me and my co-founders have been bootstrapping it since earlier this year, when we failed to find any real competition online for this concept. In a fit of global consciousness synchronicity, there are a few dozen now popping up all over the world.
