Oh man, oh man, now I gotta find a project where I can toy with these!
Added to my collection immediately, Microsoft has been bringing it's A game in 2015.
I started exploring these APIs yesterday. I'm very impressed with preliminary results, though I'm hesitant to bring any of these into production until I understand what scale looks like. I'm currently rate limited at 5k/mo. If any of the Makers are listening, I have an email out to your team asking for more information. I'm excited about the opportunity.
Similar to the IBM Watson Developer Cloud (http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet...).
Microsoft's cognitive API collection isn't quite as extensive as IBM's, but is certainly an interesting alternative!
