Yahoo Tag Soup
As the BBC has opened up its API for users to slice and dice content in different ways, here's a cool look at what one person has done with Yahoo's API -- extracted keywords automatically to create tags and a new way to surf the news.
So what's the big deal? As creator John Herren says, "By tapping into the Yahoo! web services, I have access to all kinds of content and search functionality. What used to be accomplished through dirty screen scraping hacks can now be done easier, quicker, and legitimately though a REST interface that can be implemented in most any programming language. The end effect is that people much smarter than me can mash web content into interesting ways that the original authors never intended."
