Comment (by Janne Jalkanen):

 Hi!

 I am Janne, the CTO over at Thinglink.  To describe us a bit:

 We are the leading provider of interactive images.  We have existed for
 over four years now, so we're not exactly a nascent service.  At the
 writing of this, we are among the Alexa top 16,000 web sites
 (http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/thinglink.com) and serve about 700M API
 calls/month.

 We have a Wordpress plugin already in existence
 (http://wordpress.org/plugins/thinglink/) which has had over 10k
 downloads.  We're quite often badgered by our customers to get the plugin
 accepted into wordpress.com, and have a few WP VIP customers who are using
 it.

 We have large, established customers such as The New York Magazine, CBSi,
 The Home Depot, Microsoft, and Forbes. We are also being used quite
 extensively in the education space (take a look at the twitter stream at
 https://twitter.com/search?q=thinglink&src=typd to see how people are
 using us).

 Our OEmbed endpoint has been stable for the past couple of years and is
 officially supported as a part of our API through OEmbed discovery.  It
 would be awesome to have this as a part of WP.

 And, yes, we do have a Wikipedia article :-).

 In case of further questions, I'd be glad to provide more info!
