Yahoo (YHOO) just launched their new search engine platform API, SearchMonkey. Basically, now developers can customize Yahoo’s search engine results using their API tool.
Sorta like this:
It’s a great way to customize their search engine without Yahoo doing any work. Lol…but this will be great for developers as you could make some serious cash with a great app.
With SearchMonkey, developers have a hand in shaping the next generation of search by building customized search results and mash-ups that users can add to their Yahoo! Search experience. By leveraging structured data from sites like CitySearch, StumbleUpon, eBay, or Epicurious.com, developers can add navigational links, reviews, contact information, and even locations to provide enhanced search listings.
Developers can build two types of applications using SearchMonkey: Enhanced Results and Infobars. Enhanced Results replace the current standard results with a richer display. All the links in the Enhanced Results must point to the site to which the result refers. Infobars are appended below search results and can include metadata about the result, related links or content, or links for user actions (such as adding a movie to a Netflix queue).

It looks like there’s gonna be some ugly relationships between the two companies, eBay (EBAY) and Craigslist, as they are trying to sue each other.
eBay started the fight but Craig is not taking it lightly and punches back with a lawsuit.
When this is all over, I will start using eBay and Craigslist again. They both fight like pu**ies.
A few weeks back eBay brought a lawsuit against Craigslist, of which it owns an arguably sizable stake. We later learned that the reasons for eBay’s lawsuit was due to Craigslist’s steps to dilute eBay’s shares in the online classifieds company.
Now, Craigslist has responded with a filed complaint of its own, which has been filed in California. According to Craigslist’s blog, Craigslist is charging eBay with “with unlawful and unfair competition, misappropriation of proprietary information, deceptive passing-off, business interference, false advertising, phishing attacks, free-riding, trademark infringement, trademark dilution, and breaches of fiduciary duty.”
This is an embarrasement to their image, what a bunch of hoaxes! Seriously, we need less politics and more real work in this Web2.0 world, especially with US economy going down. Can we stop these cat fights pleeez?
Better yet, I’d like to see the CEOs of each company battle it out with real boxing gloves.
