Hey All, Yahoo! turned the keys of their blog over to me for one post so I can tell you about a book I put together called Yahoo! Hacks. If you're not already familiar with O'Reilly's Hacks Series, don't worry, the book isn't about breaking into Yahoo! without permission. Instead, the Hacks Series is trying to reclaim the word "hacks" for the good guys, using the word in its original geeky sense of describing a cool technical shortcut, useful bit of code, or a clever use of an existing application. Each hack is a tip, trick, or project you can put together that uses Yahoo! in a unique way—ranging from using simple shortcuts to fine-tune searching to adding new features with Yahoo! Web Services.

Excellent, well spotted.

I have many of O'Reilly's hacks books and I rate them well. I also use Yahoo's web services. This book will be good.
