TechCrunch has edged into the syndicated research business, the traditional turf of analyst firms such as Gartner, Forrester Research, IDC, Burton Group, et al.

Hunch – developer API
Hunch will allow access to its data and embeddable content through an API. Developers can make use of this API in many ways, such as:
* Putting an embeddable version of a Hunch topic on your web site. For example, if you have a blog about dogs you could embed our “which dog breed is best for me” topic in your sidebar.
* Porting Hunch to a mobile device or other platform such as SMS, Twitter, IVR etc.
* Querying our “taste database” for correlations, predictive variables, and more. For example, you could ask our taste database for the correlation between people who own guns and the people who like SUVs, or what the most salient personal trait is for predicting whether someone likes the movie Napoleon Dynamite. Over time we hope to provide a complete database of people’s aggregated taste preferences. Note that all data provided here is anonymized and aggregated to protect our users’ privacy.

Twine Could Soon Surpass Delicious, Prepares Ontology Authoring Tool – ReadWriteWeb
Compete.com says Delicious gets about 2 million unique visitors a month and has stopped growing. Twine just passed 1 million uniques and is growing fast. Spivack said that 40% of that traffic comes from Google, and sure enough those Twine pages look awfully juicy from a spider’s perspective. Spivack expects Twine to hit 2 million uniques in a matter of months and that looks like a credible claim to us.
