The most important of the API's we wish we had would be an account API. EVERYONE who is a major player in the consumer/business/social media world has these. Microsoft/ facebook/ google did it and it technically wouldn't be that hard to implement either. A simple API like this would make the lives of those of us trying to push the technologies presented in viewer 2+ to move the grid to a new stage of web enabled and low script in world devices. At least i know that API would save me weeks of time designing a method to update an avatars entire information library thou relay scripts and other third party API's. I Also never used Avatars United, But i cannot and will not forgive them for that one. That was just a fiasco like no other. The social site was not just for second life, and if the Lab knew or possibly knew running it would not be fiscally valid in a few months then why buy it!... Unless of course it was bought due to some fancy technologies that were used to create it that later led to advancements inworld and on the official sites. But that we will never know.

(Check out my blog post on what It could potentially do to kill this market too) [...] [...] Linden Lab bought and Killed “Avatars United”, which was a pretty big social network for many Virtual Worlds and MMO’s, they also Just released web Profiles for Viewer 2 that Include Status Updates “Friends Suggestions”, which is some sort of a small Social Network that will probably kill the need of any other Network.

Yes, that comes from me, even though I am using what you call a "griefer viewer" (Firestorm for those without a clue), lol. Regardless to the fact, it's Viewer 2 and I am glad that I finally made the switch from predated versions of the Second Life viewer. Honestly, the social network, if it were to include many or all of those aspects you suggested, it would have a great toll on other networks... we [avatars] walk in many numbers, so just think what could happen if most would finally come to adopt this.

Same with groups. Hell its all good, the lab should pay you for your ideas. At least when you give suggestions they are actually suggestions unlike most of the comments being pasted on linden profiles lately. You know that idea for postcards would totally rule.
