Fun with Yahoo!Search
As you probably know, Yahoo! has launched Yahoo! Search Web Services, a service that allows users to access Yahoo content and services using REST-style requests. There’s also a Y!Q Challenge for developers (US only) who want to create new applications using these services.
Anyway, this night I spent two hours trying Yahoo! Search Web Services and I must say that it’s an interesting tool, with virtually unlimited fields of application. The result of my brief hacking session is a simple PHP web application called WhosWhoo?!?: enter the name of a famous person in the textfield and see what you get.
The code is trivial (and brutally hacked) and results are good only for well-known american people but… who knows?… maybe I’ll try to improve it in the future. Enjoy!
