As useful this by the new Facebook Graph Search inspired service my sound, I doubt the usefulness. I just prefer to have a expressive non-natural language to specify my needs (especially when retrieving data). This could be useful for the mainstream querying drunk female friends nearby but again this is solved by FB already.

However, I would love to have seen some demo.

Yup, if everyone who wants to get at the data already has the skills to do that, we've got nothing to offer. But many organisations have knowledge workers or end users that won't learn SQL, and don't have people available to regularly run ad-hoc reports, or the time to constantly expand the reporting available on their intranet/admin suite.

I'll post again when we have a demo up.
