Today, Yahoo has gone live with it's "open strategy" or Y!OS, which is Yahoo's way of opening up their products to third party developers in order to attract wider use, and to come up with some useful functionalities that will help them compete better with companies like Google and Microsoft.
Y!OS consists of three major components:
- Yahoo Query Language (YQL)
- integrating SearchMonkey projects into regular search results.
According to Pullara, users will begin to experience a "social dimension" as they activate the network across services like Yahoo mail, and Yahoo Messenger, and developers have the opportunity to create some cool things for these and even the Yahoo front page. It will certainly be interesting to see where this goes.
