I like the general idea of making email a human api for web services.
Email based invoice generation service, markdown renderers, tweet/blog from email, post to forum etc. seem to fit into this category. Services like event/reservation booking can also be used from email if the service has a forgiving parser (like WolframAlpha) for the human input.
