OF ALL TIME! I've been doing 3rd party API-based development for about 4 years, and I'm a strong advocate of web services opening up their data and functionality through APIs. I had a few pointers for people who might create an API, but your list blows that away. Your #1 was the same as my #1, by the way. This is quite possibly my favorite cdevroe post of all time.

That is why my tip to open source as much code as possible is essential. Take things you <em>have to build</em> and make them public. Saves on having to create code examples.
