* A kickstarter like website that has an api available internationally. It should include functions for adding many campaigns (maybe a limit of 1000) and also detailed historical data (so I can see other people's campaign histories and see what works and doesn't). If you can make it an investment site in accordance with the recent jobs act crowdfunding even better.

* Rentacoder like website with all functions exposed as api.

Also

* prediction market/betting site (with ability to bet on anything) with api and detailed historical data.

* Also, a stock exchange where I can invest in houses, small local businesses, commercial property. Should have api and historical data.

* A patent stock exchange (api+data)

Not $10 a month service, but something I'd pay for (maybe up to $10 per hour) Internet access to a factory robot.

$10 service - rentacoder like site except for factory automation services (bids/fulfillmnt on design of turn-key automation systems) along with api.

What would you use this factory robot for?

Also, the setup time of any factory automation task is huge - would you be willing to pay for this as well?

Factory robots for prototyping machine vision guided tasks. Factory automation website because it should be easier for engineers to bid on jobs that need to be done (like rentaacder does for design/coding) and for manufacturers/entrepreneurs to get quotes for new projects (I'm looking more from the outsourcing perspective, I want to get the lowest quote from around the world for machines and then have them built and shipped to where I specify easily. Engineering services are way overpriced).
