I think you might like one of the new projects I'm working on: The Data Tank ( http://thedatatank.com ). We also briefly discussed the NMBS API on http://thedatatank.com/nmbs-should-have-an-api/. We should actually take this much further. A common API for all public data sets out there. Imagine what power this would bring to developers all over the world, having this information at their fingertips! Nice 5 reasons, by the way. :-) Very interesting!
