The 2008 Daylife Developer Challenge
Over a year ago, we turned up the DayPI, the world's first API for news.
In the year that's passed since then, and we've seen some amazing examples of what developers can make when they've got news from around the world at their programmatic beck and call.
To celebrate the DayPI's first year, we're staged our first DayPI Developer Challenge from June 3rd to July 25th 2008.
The Winners
1ST PRIZE and the Yahoo! BOSS PRIZE: Newsline
Runner-Up: Doodlebuzz
Runner-Up: Reflecting News in Digital Media

A news search website with options for in-depth search, a new way of reading news - Deliciously and an OpenSocial application Snap News for Orkut to share your favourite news items with friends.
Newstaggr is a new way for browsing news - it gathers news from sources like Reuters,CNN,New York Times and BBC (by the help of daylife API source filtering), uses Reuters' Opencalais API to semanticly tag them and create a tag cloud in front page for 12 categories. (including Top News,US,World, Business,Technology,Sports and more... )
We present a way to build feeds of travel-related news (e.g., local cultural/sport event, traveler blog, hotel strike, etc.) for specific destinations (city, state, country). We've used the Openplaces' travel ontology and traveliness guesser and mixed them up with the DayLife API to create a feed of travel-related news.
Wordbot is a brand new tool created to assist readers and writers. Its goals are to make it easy to find information based on the full text of a document and to expose news sources by a wide variety of categories.
Interceder is a mashup, built using Daylife to search through the latest news and display associated metadata such as tone analysis and favicons.
The way the news is brought to the actual user, greatly influences the way the basic facts are picked up. The daily news goes through several filters and people, before the general public hears about it. This filtering colors the news, and can actually blur out the original fact. Not only the way an article in a newspaper is written, the articles next to it, the pictures around it, the headline used and even the fact that it is printed or not, define the coloring of the news as a whole. Therefore I tried to focus my attention during the project on bringing the news to the user as unfiltered as possible.
Newsbuddy's friendly newscasters are available any time of the day to read you the news. Feel free to select from one of the news categories, or even search for news of your choice.
Dead simple newspaper topic tracker. The Deadpool Watch is on for print. Which paper folds first?
Perspctv -- A dashboard to see how internet activity relates to the 2008 US presidential elections. This site is a mashup of 14 different APIs and Services. I use Daylife in particular to get the "News Mentions" data.
