Very nice. Love how Y! continues to open up. More data sharing means happier users and more business for everyone!

This is great, having an alternative to cURL/regex flakiness to scrape this data is going to be very helpful.

For your list, I covered the address book API announcement for CNET News.com, too: http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-9959469-7.html

LOL – you’d think that would make my posts better written, wouldn’t you?

Always a happy day when our Yahoo brethren dance down the path of Open. As you say, can’t wait for the more to come.

“inure” – I had to look that word up – that’s what happens when you have an English scholar writing blog posts!

Very exciting stuff. Definitely the way to go. Congrats.

Any chance there is write/update access via the API.

A huge feature that yahoo mail users would appreciate is letting a webservice they use auto-add the services email address to the users yahoo mail address book, so they don’t have to worry about not receiving emails from services they sign up for?

Very cool either way.
