If you do go with monthly payment options, PLEASE make it possible to pay for a full year of months. Part of my fatigue with these services is the monthly credit card payment paperwork I have to file at our institution for each of these charges. As we use more and more of these services, the tracking ads up.

SaaS fatigue wish #2...add LDAP support.

Build something that can expose any LDAP to any web app safely and you'd probably make millions.

Already exists: JBoss Teiid (http://www.jboss.org/teiid) virtualizes your LDAP (and more besides) allowing you to 'safely' expose your directory as a restricted view. I use it all the time. Haven't made any millions yet, but I'll keep smiling.

Key part: "to any web app". You'll need some kind of OAuth provider on top so people can just plug it in right next to their Google, Twitter or Facebook providers.
