Two weeks ago, we announced SearchMonkey, a new open developer platform that lets developers and site owners use semantic markup and structured data to enhance Yahoo! Search results and make them more useful, relevant and visually appealing.

We wanted to remind you that we're kicking off this launch in true SearchMonkey style with a Developer Launch Party next Thursday, May 15. If you're a web developer, come get the inside scoop on SearchMonkey, see live demos, deep-dive on the Developer Tool, and meet with our product managers and engineers over tasty (read: free!) food and beer.

When: May 15, 2008, 5:30 -- 8:30 p.m.

Where: Yahoo! Headquarters @ URL's Cafe, 701 First Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94089

RSVP: Email your full name and company name directly
to searchmonkeyevent@yahoo-inc.com. Space is limited.
