Great write-up. I think what you're saying is clear enough that it can or should have been in your application. You've done a decent job (I think) of explaining it. I wasn't responding to your application in either of the previous points. Now that I hear what you're doing I hope you never to offense to my previous comments. Now, my 2cents about your database. In some ways, Google IS the database you are referring to, just that it is a secondary repository of that information (don't ignore Google's Cached results, etc). Google can do an amazing amount of slicing and dicing on metadata too. I STILL think you have something. It doesn't have to be The Database for all the Internet, but it may be. You sound like a very smart guy, so I'm assuming you've done the homework and know what niche you can serve first which can help you grow. On that note :) I too didn't get too deep in the larger opportunity for my product, but in the next few weeks (probably early next month) I'll start taking data from a group of open data sensors. Would that be a good fit for broadlist? I'll drop you an email in a couple of weeks and see where you're at.
