They don't, however, track your usage of others' APIs and it wouldn't make sense for them to add that. Nor would it make sense for Google Analytics to add API throttling.

They need to make it free for the small players. Also, Google could take their business in an instant by adding this to Analytics.

They've been at this business for years and have a roster of clients including Compete, DayLife, FreeWebs, Hoovers, Get Satisfaction, Etsy, Shopping.com, LinkedIn, Trulia, Zemanta, Zoom Info, Calais, Netflix, MTV and many more. They are by far the biggest player in this space and Im pretty sure TC has written about them as well. www.mashery.com How did you guys not mention Mashery at all in this article?

Not sure how much I like the idea of piping traffic through a 3rd party, however. What about security, and privacy? What about a single point of failure? Also, 300ms is a pretty large amount of latency, at least it is for most commercial applications. Also likely not an option for EU folks given privacy/safe harbor rules. These guys should consider creating customer-installable apache modules or packet sniffer analytics modules, to avoid some of these drawbacks.

If you have every made a public API, this is what scares the hell out of you the most. In fact after the first 24 hours of seeing you API work with out fail, all you are thinking is “Well, all we have to worry about now is getting hammered” You have your own built in precautions, but this service seems to takes the need for that away, something that is time consuming as a developer and expensive for a business. This is one of the best new product launches I have seen for B2B, I love it. First impression is this is an excellent service!

Beeing a developer that both consume apis and are going to provide apis, i'd say this is a very welcome and much needed service. I'm not sure if the price is cost-effective though.
