It’s not like you couldn’t see this coming. After all, Jeremy Zawodny was asking about Yahoo APIs back in September (even though he claimed it wasn’t in the works and maybe wasn’t yet). But tonight Yahoo! made it official and launched the YSDN.
You can find all the fun at developer.yahoo.net.
UPDATE: Here’s an excellent example Yahoo [...]
Jarvis gets ambushed by the left and lives to tell about it.
And along the way, he does a great job of illustrating what I consider to be the #1 thorn in the Democrats side–their seemingly-unflinching obsession with exclusivity:
Is this the left, the caring, human, open, inclusive, warm, huggy,
humanisitic left? Or is this just its [...]
The good people over at Pegasus News have an interesting post up about the Guardian Angels, old comic books, and the New media and bloggers, titled Guardian Pegasi?; the jist:
Now maybe I read too many comic books as a kid, but I remember the square-jawed goons were always looking over their shoulder to see if [...]
Tony Pierce has a great IM interview with a paratrooper who has served 2 tours (do they call them ‘tours’ still?) in Iraq over at the busblog. It’s chalk full of good, meaningful, eye-opening exchanges, but I couldn’t help but gravitate towards this bit of self-deprecation by TP (writing as ‘dumbass’):
SSG Chris Paul: no airborne [...]
What’s the over-under on some variation of this turning into a movie plot (I’ll even predict what movie it gets used for–the inevitable National Treasure 2, perhaps?).
From a BBC News report (via BoingBoing):
The myths of Mahabalipuram were first set down in writing by British
traveller J Goldingham, who visited the South Indian coastal town in
1798, [...]
Introducing The Edge City Catalog.
This has been in the works for awhile, but only in the last couple weeks have we really smoothed everything out. We have transformed the old Edge City Store into the multi-brand Catalog.
There’s new championship gear from TrojanWire, some really cool new stuff from Hooplog, and a bunch of new stuff [...]
After seeing (or should I say, sitting through) Napster’s Super Bowl spot, I predicted the company will be all-but-dead by Super Bowl XL. Then I read this quote/death knell from their CEO, Chris Gorog:
We’re going to be communicating to people that it’s stupid to buy an iPod.
Of course, as it stands, the adoption of digital [...]
You knew it was coming….the 4th installment of America’s Next Top Model is set to kick off on the UPN on Wednesday, March 2 at 8pm.
Now if I can just figure out why they’ve decided to refer to it as "the fourth cycle of America’s Next Top Model"….are we trying to liken this to [...]
Jose Canseco is either totally insane, or he’s spilling some major beans about baseball in his new book. Or, in all likelihood, it’s a little from Column A and a little from Column B.
Whatever the case, check out some of the gems he drops in his new biography….I’d make jokes about each, but honestly, they [...]
Anyone know what happened to Gridskipper’s exclusive sponsor, CheapTickets? They were up in the site’s masthead/header last week, any those ugly Megan Mullaly banners were all over the place; now there isn’t any CheapTickets ads to be found.
I know ClickZ said it was a "smaller deal" than the Sony one….but was it just a 1-week [...]
