@havi - Sure thing. I’ll post a link here when we release the next update.

If you didn’t see it already, you might want to check out our HackHUD script from last year’s Yahoo Hack Day London.

It uses Yahoo’s YUI, Term Extraction and Pipes to overlay user media (Flickr photos, blog posts, tweets) on top of news events on the BBC News website:

Shame Ben Trotts plugin uses Fire Eagle with Google Maps, and not Yahoo! Maps.

@Premasagar - fixed the bad link, thank you! Please let us know as you extend the script, or tell us about other hacks you’re working on — especially if they related to APIs or services from Yahoo. Cheers.

Cool. Thanks for shouting the YLiveGroups script.

We’re thinking about extending the script, now that BarCamp is over - to allow the ad hoc creation of groups, to ‘follow’ user channels, to ‘tag’ the currently viewed channel and to track particular tags…

[BTW - the first link to Y!Live in the post is broken]
