What kind of geo-focused APIs would you like to see?
adrianh: You've seen EveryBlock (http://www.everyblock.com/), yes? Among many other things, it'll give you newspaper/blog articles for a specific address in 15 U.S. cities. Not international or even U.S.-wide, but very damn good for its 15 cities.(Disclaimer: I'm proud to work for EveryBlock.)
