Yahoo launch their new BOSS

Breaking news! Yahoo recently launched their new service called BOSS (Build Your Own Search Engine/Service). BOSS is a web services platform that allows developers and companies to create and launch web-scale search products by utilizing the same infrastructure and technology that powers Yahoo! Search.

BOSS is a new, open platform that offers programmatic access to the entire Yahoo! Search index via an API. BOSS allows developers to take advantage of Yahoo!’s production search infrastructure and technology, combine that with their own unique assets, and create their own search experiences. While search APIs have been available for some time, BOSS removes many of the usage restrictions that have prevented other companies from using them to build innovative new search engines.

So, can we make some money from it? I don’t know and really don’t care about their new BOSS..
