    Notes on slide 1

    Abstract: What is the Yahoo Application Platform?  How do I use it?  YAP provides you with a base from which you can quickly and securely launch apps on My Yahoo!.  The Yahoo! activity stream presents unparalleled opportunities for app virality by transmitting updates from your application to a diversity of Yahoo! products including Mail, Messenger, and your profile, and even off-network through the new social APIs.  Build on YAP and your next idea could have an audience of millions overnight. In this brief talk, Erik introduces the platform, explains some of the technologies it uses, and walks through a couple code examples demonstrating some of the platform features.
