Today I launched, with my colleague Ben Friedberg, the Y!Q Link Generator. It leverages Y!Q for Publishers, a way to embed Yahoo! search into you weblog or website. Here’s a snip from the launch blog post:
Y!Q for Publishers is a way to embed Yahoo! search into you weblog or website. Since it launched in February, it has not caught on. The only place I ever see it (besides here) is Yahoo! News, where it is used in a literal way for encyclopedia-style link queries for the names of countries, actors, former presidents, etc. Yahoo! even had a contest for people to see who could implement it in the most interesting way and most of the winners of that contest don’t use Y!Q any longer.
