I agree, I seen very little innovation in any of the winners. I'm guessing Yahoo probably is hiding the good ones like yours and Golexas' because those sites have implementations that they could actually use....LOL Hey Francis,

I have to agree with the other posters, Prominence was a dumb factor. In fact, based on the winners, no offense but I reckon the contest was really poor and not worth entering. Probably some sour grapes on my part. The winners all look like the copied the same Ajax implementation, at least the UI portion of it. They're all the same! I don't see any innovation here. My entry combined ALL the Yahoo Web services, including Y!Q and Flickr and RSS. Here's my entry: <a href="http://www.FrancisShanahan.com/reader.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.FrancisShanahan.com/reader.aspx</a> GoLexa is awesome and definitely should've beaten the winners imho. -fs First of all congrats to the winners.

I still think my site ROCKS with the best implementation of Y!Q. (www.GoLexa.net)I'm guessing it was bypassed because I was using the Google API and not Yahoo's. Could you post some of the other sites that were in the contest? I'd like to see some of the creativity. ED Congrats to the winners!!! I still think my site ROCKS with the best implementation of Y!Q.
