Daylife is a perfect fit for our strategy of presenting the best and most tightly focused content, whether it is produced by us at USA TODAY or anywhere else on the Web. It helps us provide our readers with a full 360-degree view of a given topic, and adds depth and richness to niche areas important to our readers and advertisers.- Jeff Webber, SVP, USAToday.com
You guys have what seems like an amazingly powerful and easy to use API, we're pretty excited about playing with it and possibly integrating it with Hubdub. - Tom Griffith, Hubdub.com
It's amazing how simple this is to integrate into django. When a view is creating a page, it just calls a thin wrapper function that I put around the daypi module. - Bracket Boy
I found the Daylife API for PHP really easy to use, and coded something up quickly for my site, Brooklyn and Beyond - Brooklyn & Beyond
This tool makes it really easy to get a quick look or dive in deep thanks to our partner Daylife, who built a comprehensive service that yields up-to-the-minute results - The Washington Post
I was trying to make it work by using Google News RSS feeds but turned out impossible since they don't organize their data in the feeds. I now know its possible with the Daylife API - Akash Xavier

mashup with the NPR API
NPR released their API today exposing 13 years of content. Read more about the API here - http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/07/16/npr-launches-api-that-serves-up-13-...
A great API to mashup the Daylife API with for the contest.

Obama and McCain APIs
With McCain and Obama going head-on for the november elections, they need an API - so says ProgrammableWeb and they are absolutely right!
How would this API look like?
- getObamaNews - break them out by mainstream news and blogs
- getObamaPhotos - from daylife and flickr
- getObamaConversation - from twitter, use Summize APIs
- getObamaInsultsForMccain - use search_getRelatedQuotes(speaker_topic_id=Obama, query=mccain)
- getObamaVideos - use youtube API
- getObamaFinancials - use the SunlightFoundation APIs.
- whatIsObamaTalkingAbout - use search_getRelatedArticles(query=Obama AND "health care")
And similar APIs for McCcain!
