Hot Topics at ETech '09
Yahoo! Query Language
A query language for the whole wide Web? Yahoo! presents YQL, a SQL-like language you can use to query web services, web pages, and feeds. We know programmers like to go fast, so we created YQL, which makes it easy to query data from all over the Web in a common way. Once you have YQL the possibilities are endless.
Creative Commons
Creative Commons provides free tools that let authors, scientists, artists, educators, and everyone else easily mark their creative work with the permissions for reuse and redistribution they choose. Joi Ito talks about what Creative Commons is doing for science and technology.
Y! SearchMonkey
The Semantic Web holds the promise of enabling search engines to understand webpages better than ever, leading to greater opportunities in how information can be presented to users. SearchMonkey is a Yahoo! Search application platform that promotes the use of structured data on the Web by site owners and developers.
The Purple Pedals Project
A bicycle is a conduit for exploration and a camera is a way to document these explorations. The Purple Pedals Project took these two concepts and merged them into one. We call it a yBike. It was conceived to be an ambient experience in which a rider could explore their adventures and the bike would do the rest. The rest was to document these explorations and share them with the world.
Low-Cost, Low-Power Computing
What could we do if powerful computing was ubiquitous and pervasive? Mary Lou Jepsen, whose work on OLPC made her famous, talks about how screens are getting cheaper and using less power. She explores what we could do.
