Yahoo! Query Language (YQL)

Jul 10, 2009   //   by Michael D. Irizarry   //   Ajax, JavaScript, Web 2.0  //  No Comments

The Yahoo! Query Language is an expressive SQL-like language that lets you query, filter, and join data across Web services. With YQL, apps run faster with fewer lines of code and a smaller network footprint.

Yahoo! and other websites across the Internet make much of their structured data available to developers, primarily through Web services. To access and query these services, developers traditionally endure the pain of locating the right URLs and documentation to access and query each Web service.

With YQL, developers can access and shape data across the Internet through one simple language, eliminating the need to learn how to call different APIs.

How Do I Get Started?

  1. Check out the YQL Console.
  2. Read how to access YQL from your application.
  3. Get your API Keys to sign your requests if you need them.

Twiidate.com – twitter just got a little more personal [Startup]

Apr 4, 2009   //   by Michael D. Irizarry   //   Inspiration, Startups, Web 2.0  //  No Comments

In an effort to do something productive during this weekend I decided to put myself to use and join the Startup Weekend trend. I came up with the following idea Twiidate.com a personals service website completely driven by Twitter users. Since I’m alone doing this I might not finish it by tomorrow but I sure will try. I just finished the logo, bought the domain, setup the server with Media Temple and all the configurations, setup the twitter OAuth and a few more things. I currently have a business model on mind but nothing solid. I’ll keep you updated.

You can follow the updates thru Twiidate twitter account.
