Yahoo - whoa Ho Ho!
Im really bummed I couldn’t make it to the Yahoo coming out party for BB Auth and the new slew of Open APIs. Though it wasn’t announced - open APIs for MyYahoo will be the creme of the pudding, the cat’s meow, the straw that broke the camel’s back on ‘the rest of them’.
Once we have open APIs out of (and hopefully back into) MyYahoo - I really think this inter-connect, web services, mashup, persona driven distriuted mesh thing can take off.
Having Facebook Import helps - but it doesn’ take a return path in - yet. Flickr has led the way with these sorts of APIs, but that’s nothing compared to Yahoo Groups, Yahoo Photos or MyYahoo. Add this to the stuff they’re already doing with YUI, Brickhouse and Jumpcut and you got some serious mojo working.
I am totally jazzed by these developments and have been waiting - over 2 years for them to appear. Watch for later version of PeopleAggregator to fully support BB Auth and add all sorts of new capabilities onto our platform - because of this leadership position Yahoo has established.
Right on to Chad Dickerson, Brad Horowitz and anybody else who had anything to to with this.
