Yahoo! Application Platform

Yahoo! just launched the Yahoo! Application Platform

According to their overview:

The Yahoo! Application Platform (YAP) is the software and services that enable developers to build Web applications that are available throughout Yahoo!– the largest audience in the world

Check out the PHP SDK example: http://developer.yahoo.com/social/sdk/

I suppose it’s an interesting approach… allow people in to Yahoo!’s data so that they can create applications that integrate with user data in some niche way that Yahoo! itself would never build. I’m not sure how useful it will be in practice though.
