How do I find the time?

By using cool free stuff.

But first, let’s take a look at what Yahoo can do for publishers.

Good, isnt’ it?

Now, YQL...

YQL h?p://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/

YQL h?p://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/ select {what} from {where} where {condi&ons}

YQL turns the internet into a database.

Getting photos from flickr: select * from ﬂickr.photos.search where text="barcelona"

Finding Madrid: select * from geo.places where text="madrid"

Finding photos taken in Madrid: select * from ﬂickr.photos.search where woe_id in (select woeid from geo.places where text="madrid")

Articles of the New York Times: select * from nyt.ar&cle.search where query="football"

Headlines of elpais.com: select content from html where url="h?p:// elpais.com" and xpath="//h2/a"

Keywords extracted from elpais.com headlines. select * from search.termextract where context in( select content from html where url="h?p:// elpais.com" and xpath="//h2/a" )

elpais.com headlines in English: select * from google.translate where q in(select content from html where url="h?p://elpais.com" and xpath="//h2/a") and target="en"

Updating Twitter: use 'h?p://www.yqlblog.net/samples/ twi?er.status.xml'; insert into twi?er.status (status,username,password) values ( "In your redinnova, blowing ur mindz", "codepo8", "didyoureallythinkIshowit?" )

Updating Wordpress: insert into wordpress.post (&tle, descrip&on, blogurl, username, password) values ("Test Title", "This is a test body", "h?p://ajaxian.com", "codepo8", "iedoesitright")

A friend of mine complained that it is hard to do research with search engines.

select * from query.mul& where queries=' select Title,Descrip&on,Url,DisplayUrl from microso_.bing.web(20) where query="cat"; select &tle,clickurl,abstract,dispurl from search.web(20) where query="cat"; select &tleNoFormabng,url,content,visibleUrl from google.search(20) where q="cat" '

YQL is open - if you want your data in this system, all we need is an address where to get it :)

Data is great, but what about displaying it?

http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/wireframes/

http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/grids/builder/

http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/

People do not want to wait.

h?p://developer.yahoo.com/performance/

h?p://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/

We have the what, the how, now about the where...

h?p://developer.yahoo.com/geo/

Our geo technologies help you find locations in web content.

h?p://icant.co.uk/geomaker/

h?p://developer.yahoo.com/geo/

Finding lat/lon locations is easy - giving them context is harder.

But analysing your own content and turning it into a map shouldn’t be hard.

So check out our social tools, play with YQL and if you have cool things to share - tell us!
