Ajax API's

• Ajax Search, Ajax Feed, Ajax Language
• Ajax search can do multiple search types, video, text, audio, news, etc
• Ajax Feed api - allows you to load, find, and lookup rss feeds, and it makes this into an api that you can do whatever you would like.
• Ajax Language API - can detect your language of the page, and translate any language you want

These API's can be used on their own to create a new application, this doesn't need to just be things to add to a current page
