Yahoo Media Player

Bei Sara Golemon habe ich gerade Yahoos media player widget gesehen. Fantastisch!

• Adds audio to your site with one line of HTML
• Uses simple, easy-to-hack HTML instead of complicated proprietary markup, ushering in the REAL Media Web
• Magical floating design never gets lost, is available when you need it, gets out of your way when you don’t need it
• Automatically finds all audio links on your page, turning your page into a playlist
• Plays all your blog entries with a single button click
• Allows you to put the play buttons where they belong: IN CONTEXT
• Keeps the user in the page rather than sending them away to a media player
• Picks up your images and adds them as cover art
• Requires no download, install or maintenance

RIA mit BrowserPlus

Yahoo! stellt eine neue/weitere Variante vor Rich Internet Applications zu erstellen: BrowserPlus™

Yahoo! BrowserPlus™ is software that extends the capabilities of your web browser to make richer web experiences possible. Different websites can use BrowserPlus to support things like drag and drop from the desktop, easier file uploads, more efficient and secure acquisition of feeds and information, and native desktop notifications. BrowserPlus is a technology designed to “extend the web,” so that developers can build more exciting web applications and so end-users can get more done inside their web browser.

Wirklich testen kann man das noch nicht, da der Code zur Zeit nur auf Yahoo! Domains läuft. Ich bin ja mal gespannt.

WOEID - Where on Earth ID

Klingt spannend: Yahoo! Internet Location Platform

The Yahoo! Internet Location Platform provides a resource for managing all geo-permanent named places on Earth. Our purpose in creating the Internet Location Platform is to provide the Yahoo! Geographic Developer Community with the vocabulary and grammar to describe the world’s geography in an unequivocal, permanent, and language-neutral manner.

Leider funktionieren die Beispiele die mich interessieren würde gerade nicht

Static Maps

Endlich bietet auch Google “Static Maps”.

Welcome to the developer documentation for the Google Static Maps API! The Google Static Maps API lets you embed a Google Maps image on your webpage without requiring JavaScript or any dynamic page loading. The Google Static Map service creates your map based on URL parameters sent through a standard HTTP request and returns the map as an image you can display on your web page!

Bei Yahoo! gab es dieses Feature schon länger.

Using Yahoo! Web Services

Alejandro Gervasio startet eine 6teilige Serie über Yahoo! Web Services mit PHP 5.

In this case, it’s not my intention to provide you here with a fully-featured guide on how to use Yahoo!’s Web services with PHP 5, because the best place to go is simply the aforementioned Developer Network. Instead, I’ll offer to you a bunch of code samples that hopefully will assist you in the development of PHP 5 applications that will utilize some of these useful web services.
