Yahoo! Research Berkeley

The mission: Explore and invent social and mobile media technology and applications that will enable people to create, describe, share, find and remix media on the web. We are combining the fields of media technology, social software, context-aware computing, mobile computing with user and design research to help shape the future of Internet media.

The skinny: We build prototypes (not products) and learn from it. We build APIs to those prototypes because we want you to have fun with it and because we know you've got mad hacker skillz.
