RSS + BitTorrent = madness. My conception of BitTorrent is where my conception of RSS was 2 years ago.
This is really tangential, but I don't think Google is actually that interested in web services APIs (though they are more interested in them than the average company since they actually have something published). My experience is that they kind of treat web services APIs the way a lot of companies treat open source: nice idea, we'll throw the clamoring masses some crusts and then say "We recognize the value of bread and are pleased to offer support for bread-based technology."
Evidence: their web services API package hasn't been updated since August 2002, when they did a bugfix release. Nothing new has been added to the API since it was released. It hasn't kept up with new functionality added to Google; there's no way to search Google news, images, groups, or Froogle, let alone Answers, Orkut, or GMail, which I could understand because they're totally different apps and they're still working on single sign-on for them. It only has the regular web search, and it's not even reliably usable as a spellchecker because of the daily limit.
They're really paranoid in general about people accessing Google functionality through any kind of automatic system. The API key has a daily limit and is limited to noncommercial use, and they block access to Google from anything that doesn't claim to be a standard web browser. The only evidence I've seen that they listen to people's complaints is that the daily API call limit has been increased from 100 to 1000 (which does takes it into the realm of the usable).
Compare Amazon, which just limits you to 1 query per second (resulting in cool applications like allconsuming.net), or eBay, which charges money for access to their web service APIs but at least gives you the kind of API you need to build nontrivial apps (probably just a bunch of crappy sniper applications). I can't think of any non-toy application based on the Google API. In fact, I can't think of *any* application based on the Google API except the one that appends a random word to your search to make you find more unusual results, and that could be done with a redirect to the real Google.
It's great for name recognition to have people writing cool apps based on your system, but people already mostly know about and love Google. I think their web services stuff was written on somebody's 20% time and they decided there was much bigger bang/buck in stuff that nonprogrammers could use.
Anyway. I just wanted to rant. All this is IMO.
