Wow - see I missed this - Yahoo APIs

Tuesday, March 8th, 2005

I’m so heads down - I didn’t even get to say congrats to Jeremy Zawodny and the folks at Yahoo on their APIs launching. They’re definitely giving Google and MS a run for their money.
I heard a remark last week that Terry Semel was quoted as saying “sure we can make money off of Hollywood [...]

Thursday, March 3rd, 2005

David Weinberger has an excellent post on “Why Tags matter“. At the end he puts in the Technorati Tags on the subject (taxonomy tags berkman )
