Some of these are not ready for production use; e.g.: RESTng: "RESTng
is still experimental and incomplete". It has no documentation and
doesn't even compile. Sadly typical.
It's a bit of a chicken and egg thing. I'd switch to Haskell in a
commercial setting if there were more good libraries, yet the act of
switching would lead to the production of more good libraries. The
latter, though, is cost-prohibitive, given all the components that
would need to be developed. A few years from now, or post Haskell-on-
JVM, I might be singing a different tune.
I do greatly admire the work you and your company have done for Haskell.
What has the Industrial Haskell group done so far? I haven't seen any
announcements. The work I'd be most interested in helping co-sponsor
is Haskell on JVM (biggest bang for the buck).

* Haskell interfaces to Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Google, etc.
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!
