First, I wish for U.S. Federal Government apps. Open up wsAPIs for the budget, to the library of congress, to congressional behavior, to America's Job Bank, to Commerce Business Daily, IRS, SEC and the hundreds of regulatory agencies, OSHA, USGS, environmental databases. We spend billions to collect and host an amazing collection of useful data and services. Some are web exposed. wsAPIs may be the key to making them more useful to more people in new and exciting ways.

For example, add context to that news story about the Taliban: who has a financial stake in Afghanistan, who has been writing about them, prior news coverage, books citing the Taliban, movies shot about them or in the country, people with Taliban or Afghanistan on their resumes.
My goal is to get a more complete, timely and accurate picture faster. Can we collapse the time it took to understand the Enron failure from months to days with tools like this?
