Dan -- the themes and ideas behind this are rad and I'd love to chat with you to find out more about what you'd like to do with this.
I've been bootstrapping a concept that shares "the personal API" concept for 12 months now with a team of three and we're going to launch it in a couple of weeks.
Since other services' API rate limits and terms makes depending on them nearly impossible at scale, we decided to give everyone an API and a database.
The database stores data in community-driven schemas called the JSON Archetypes: https://github.com/servant-app/json-archetypes.
The project is Servant -- The Amazing Personal Database (https://www.servant.co)
Anyway, I just starred the Me API. I'm in Oakland, if you're nearby, and you can contact me whenever you like: austen [at] servant.co I just like hanging with similar thinkers.
Cheers
