With "website xyz" being an entry in my address book along with others with the 
first name "website" Siri sends a mail to an account with e.g. Postmark which 
provide parsing to a webhook on my couchDB site.
Rewrite as a function will allow us to make nice APIs for webhooks, combining 
the request object with transforming simple GET's to complex POSTs and some 
COuch core features will make great demos. 

Sitting in a client meeting where we just finished going through the staging 
version of a web site I would press Siri

Siri: ding-ding
Me: "email website"
Siri: "Which website"
Me: "xyz"
Siri: "What's the subject of the email?"
Me:"Go live"
Siri: "What would you like your email to say?"
Me:"Go live now"
Siri: OK, here is your email message to website xyz, would you like to send it?"
Me:"yes"
Siri: "OK, I'll send it"

The site is replicated and we go to the url of the live site, voala.
Stupid, as click a button would be easier of course, but this is very doable 
and the client's question would be "What on earth is that technology you are 
using?"
And I say, it's version 1.7.0
Client: Version of what?


Me: CouchDB
It can do a lot of things, just go to the site that we set up for your asian 
market, it is on our Singapore data center, completly independant of your 
european site which is hosted in Ireland, just go to asia.xyz
Client: But this is not updated!
Me: let me fix that, (pressing Siri)

Siri: ding-ding
Me: "email website"
Siri: "Which website"
Me: "xyz"
Siri: "What's the subject of the email"
Me:"Go live"
Siri: "What would you like your email to say"
Me:"Go live in asia"
Siri: OK, here is your email message to website xyz, would you like to send it?"
Me:"yes"
Siri: "OK, I'll send it"

Me to the Client: refresh your browser now

The client: "Nice, eh.. you know what, we have a big project coming up about 
our strategy on the internet of things and I am going to make a presentation to 
the CEO next week, could we lunch now and have a chat to see if there is 
anything for you guys in that project? Maybe you could come up with ideas for 
some pilot projects, prototypes, you know, this is really important for us and 
my CEO is preparing a presentation to our board..."

I am just trying to think of a nice script for the 1.7.0. launch video:).
