This one is fine:

 twitter
        hs-twitter library: Haskell binding to the Twitter API
 del.icio.us
        delicious library: Accessing the del.icio.us APIs from Haskell (v2) 
 friendfeed
        ffeed library and programs: Haskell binding to the FriendFeed API
 LiveJournal
        feed2lj program: Cross-post any RSS/Atom feed to LiveJournal
 flickr
        flickr library and programs: Haskell binding to the Flickr API
 amazon
        hS3 library and program: Interface to Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3)
 mediawiki
        mediawiki library and programs: Interfacing with the MediaWiki API
 google pubsub
        pubsub library and programs: A library for Google/SixApart pubsub hub interaction
 

Speaking of REST,

 RESTng library: A framework for writing RESTful applications.

And auth:

 WindowsLive
     windowslive library and program: Implements Windows Live Web Authentication and Delegated Authentication
 OpenID
    openid library: An implementation of the OpenID-2.0 spec.
 OAuth
    hoauth library and program: A Haskell implementation of OAuth 1.0a protocol.    


We've obviously not all there yet, but we have a way to get there --
write and improve code on Hackage. Galois is doing its part (we've
released dozens of web packages), but the other commercial users need to
help out too.

Join the Industrial Haskell Group and fund open source work. Or, if you
can, release some of the non-IP-encumbered things you work on!
