Webjay Joins Yahoo!
Posted Jan 10th 2006 4:54PM by Brad Hill
Ian Rogers at Yahoo!
announced that Y! has acquired Webjay, an
open-standard music playlisting company. This fits right in with Yahoo! Music Engine's
commitment to XSPF, the
extensible playlist format, which was developed at Yahoo! in collaboration with Webjay's Lucas Gonze. On its own,
Webjay has been creating playlist-sharing interfaces in which users can string
together media from legit sources all over the Internet and share the sounds. Ian makes this merger sound like a
heavenly and productive match; it is definitely Web 2.0-ish, and seems to further Yahoo!'s commitment to flexible user
experience.
