We actually dabble in a few of the items on your wish list. Although my own wish list for the Wii went unanswered, hopefully we can bring some holiday cheer to those in need of #9 – Review Aggregation. Jeff (47) also reiterates the need, but our website does offer aggregated reviews for our nearly 65,000 merchants who’ve signed up. They include reviews from SuperPages, Yelp, and Yahoo!Local, and coming soon, CitySearch, Yahoo Yellow Pages and YellowPages.com. As for #4, our merchant base builds coupons and our partnerships allow those coupons to be picked up on other sites, including Zixxo, Edgeio and Oodle, among others.

I'd like to mash some data, but Yelp doesn't have an API, and Yahoo doesn't allow for-profit use of their Local data. There are lots of people that may want that kind of data for many uses (real estate mashups, in-car navigation, etc). Some hackers I know want to be able to use semantically marked-up data to for some small AI projects. The use cases I've seen so far are compelling, but tough to imagine for the YP execs wedded to a dead-tree mentality.

And somehow I was hoping that you would not only look back and see what has happened with the wishlist from one year ago, but that you would look forward and compile a NEW list with 10 things you would like to see and which don't exist based on technology that is current (and emerging) right now. Any plans on doing such an article as well? I loved the first one and have to admit I was more than playing with the thought of turning one of the ideas into a start-up, so I'd be intrigued to see what you'd come up with now. Happy Holidays!

It's a ridiculously easy to use file storage service at least... I think they launched about a month ago and offer unlimited file size, unlimited files, unlimited uploads, unlimited downloads, no time-limit. Quite a compelling offering I'd say, I hope they stick around! Very clean interface and a pretty cool AJAX upload system too. It's a new favorite of mine and earned a permanent shortcut link in my Firefox link bar. Happy Holidays!

It will enable people to buy and sell with anyone anywhere with confidence and lower credit/transaction costs. However, it will not be easy to build a community with reputation unless you are in a business that needs it – like eBay does. On the other hand, eBay has already built the largest community with reputation on earth. Therefore the one who is in the best position to do such a business is in fact eBay itself! EBay of course will be concerned about the potential cannibalization of its core auction business. My view is, if done right, eBay can profit greatly from this idea. Through proper licensing, they can limit the use of its community with reputation to businesses that do not compete directly with eBay. In a way, eBay’s PayPal is providing a minimal level of reputation or risk reduction to some non-eBay online transactions. I would think they make money out of that. Perhaps they can charge enough to make a profit for the licensing of its community with reputations. If eBay does not enter this business, it leaves room for others to do that though the job is a difficult one absent of a large or growing business that needs community with reputation. “Portable reputations” is a brilliant idea.

You're right that critical mass is key. More specifically, it is about advertiser on-ramping. We have a killer solution to on-ramping that I'm eager to show you. In terms of the big guys (e.g. CitySearch, etc.) they all need a coupon solution and this is the sort of thing where a networked solution is far more effective and valuable for everyone involved.
