Yahoo! web services wishlist

Jeremy asks about web services I would like to Yahoo! offer. How about being the my online storage and synchronization center? I could add an entry to my OS X address book and the entry is reflected in my Yahoo! Address Book. I could easily add photos to Yahoo! Photos from my desktop. Notepad becomes a general note center and I can even download the contents to an iPod. Briefcase can store some documents. Yahoo! makes money by selling extra storage.

    How about services that return conversations from yahoogroups related to a blog post? Or that suggest events near me based on the content of my blog? Or that deliver job listings based on a keyword search?

Yahoo! has databases out the wazoo. the more they expose them, the more we can build things like "Amazon books related to this job listing".
