The RSS Blog

News and commentary from the RSS and OPML community.

The best discussion on the Yahoo API is happening over on Phil Ringnalda's blog.

Phil: Oh, and Yahoo's API uses REST rather than SOAP. [cut] the Yahoo API has a weblog. [cut] Google, if you actually value third party developers, get moving: Yahoo just ate your lunch. [cut] Hrm. Content-Type: text/xml without a charset, <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>. That seems familiar. Isn't that broken?

Randy: The Yahoo! Search API is definately lacking (buggy), but better than anything Google has. Not as good as the MSN Search Beta RSS, but close. Had Yahoo! re-used RSS instead of inventing me a new wheel, then it would be far better than MSN Search Beta RSS.

Google reports zero hits on intentional engredient.

Randy

either way, it's irrelevant.

" Otherwise, the entire authority link structure of the Web breaks"

The web has an authority link structure? Who knew?
