My new Yahoo! project

Well, I guess now that Ari and Neal have totally totally let the cat out of the bag about YOS, I finally get to talk a little more openly about my new project: Activator. There’s a short paragraph in that article that mentions Activator:

The activator engine handles the combining of different relationship groupings, such as the Yahoo Mail e-mail address book, Yahoo Messenger contacts, Flickr friends, Yahoo 360, and Yahoo Mash, Sample said. Yahoo will be careful to protect user privacy and won’t apply the information without user consent, he added.

That’s not a great description of Activator, kind of leaves you wondering what the hell it actually does. As soon as I figure out how much I can talk about it I’ll post more. In any case, when you hear them talk about Activator you can think of me.

  1. I’m highly interrested if Yahoo! provide API which combining our relation-ship… I try secretly to do it myself (with MyBlogLog/Mail/Flickr/Delicious API) for my LiFE2Front platform ;o)

    I thought your latest project was learning how to beat people up.

    *sigh*

    Guess this means I’ve been handing you my lunch money for no reason again.

    JR, that’s more of a hobby…not so much of a project. ;)
