Yahoo! Opens Up...To Third Party Apps
Yahoo! kicked off Open Hack 2008 today at its headquarters in
Sunnyvale. The company has already demonstrated new components of
its "open strategy". The below video is a teaser for the event.
Yahoo! is opening its sites up to third-party applications in an
effort to keep users from leaving its web properties. I'm thinking
that this is a concept similar to what Google is already doing with
Google Gadgets and iGoogle, but it sounds like third party apps will
be available across a wider range of Yahoo!-owned sites.
"Like Facebook with its widget platform, Yahoo wants people to do
as much as they can without leaving its site," says Vasanth
Sridharan at Silicon Alley Insider. "That is, after all, the point
of a portal, and if Yahoo needs to offer some screen real estate to
other companies to keep users happy -- and keep them coming back
to Yahoo -- it's probably worth it."
