-* **Project activity & relevance**. How actively is a product, commercial or open source, being developed? In either case, take a quick look at [StackOverflow](http://www.stackoverflow.com/) to gauge the activity around it. For open source projects, check out the [Github](http://github.com/) activity and be wary of projects with few contributors, forks, or stars. How important is a particular service to the company that's offering it? For startups, developer success on their API might be life or death. On other other hand, a big company might easily decide to discontinue support for an API if it's not strategic to them.
