This particular article isn't instructional on how to repeat this for your own service, but it's a good idea. I'm going to try and render something like it for our API at some point -- we have all the data we need via canonical log lines, so it's just a matter of wiring up an adapter between data and frontend.

Your blog post content here. I was amused to discover that Derek Sivers' Nownownow.com also publishes its directory as a tab-delimited .txt file.
