Yahoo! Open is Real

Friday, September 19th, 2008

We’ve pushed even more documentation and tools live at developer.yahoo.com, including documentation of our new YOS social apis as well as YQL (Yahoo! Query Language).  After working on this behind the firewall for so long, it’s great to finally release it and see coverage like this article in Mashable coming in.


Off to Sun Valley for VCIR

Monday, September 8th, 2008

I’m off for Sun Valley tomorrow, on the eve of VCIR Fall - the Venture Capital in the Rockies Fall conference.

I love participating in events revolving around startups and funding, and this one promises to be exceptional, given an active group of VC’s and entrepreneurs from around the region, and a region I think is really enjoying a startup culture growth spurt from Boulder to Missoula. The format is one day of startup company presentations interspersed with talks from Yahoo!, Google, Amazon, HP, and others, bookended by socializing and networking evenings.

OK, I’m sure the setting won’t be bad either, though I have a bit of a dilemma in that my cold weather and flyfishing gear won’t fit in the same weekend bag. Oh well, I guess I’ll be cold!

If you’re in the area - or even just interested - come check it out.
