ANN: uberblic doppelganger - one api to link them all

Doppelganger [1] translates between IDs of entities in third party APIs.
When you query Doppelganger with an entity ID, you'll get back IDs of
that same entity in other APIs. In addition, a persistent Uberblic ID
serves as an anchor for your application that you can use for subsequent
queries. APIs supported at launch include Foursquare, Facebook Places,
LastFM, Lonely Planet, and others.

I'm posting this here although Doppelganger implements none of the
Linked Data (uppercase) standards. Yet it supports what I believe is the
goal of linked data: enabling developers to use data that is linked
across APIs on the Web. 

Doppelganger docs at [2]. 

Best,
Georgi
