Y!OS

Yahoo Open to open-ness

So Yahoo, after so much as dropping out of the Search race, refocuses its attentions toward the ever popular and exciting world of application developers – the new super heroes of the internet. Y!OS (Yahoo Open Strategy) is essentially Yahoo opening its API’s and back ends to developers so they can build cool applications for Yahoo users.

This actually does have some potential and is definitely a strategy to both keep up with the Google express train, and to also keep the internet masses that still use Y homepages and mail from defecting to igoogle and others.

Wow, its really a boom time to be an applications developer
