While this may not be the most user friendly (just giving options could make it difficult for people who don't understand what influence the triangle has on their results), it could help people who know a little bit more about their city and believe that the Google Maps bicycling directions suck.  But I have a question: How do you determine "safest?"

I have a feeling it will be eerily accurate. As part of the effort to grow awareness of the connected learning model and its principles, the Digital Media & Learning Research Hub has launched http://connectedlearning.tv and a weekly webinar series.

TurboTax has an advantage in that the service was already a business model. Also a serendipitous example, since I was dealing with issues with our sales tax collection site this past week. I like the idea of developing APIs to increase compliance as you have illustrated here by making it easier for citizens to access affordable services provided by third parties. Great example, Nick.
