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

Green Topics
Treehugger is a nice site. It’s also great that it advocates Green topics. Speaking of going green, the global warming made people think of great ways to reduce pollution and preserve the environment. One of these is recycling weird stuffs like cellphones. Cell for cash sounds like a good idea. Cell for Cash is not a typo, but a service. Their website, cellforcash.com, is a cellular phone recycling service, where you get a cash reward for handing in your old cell phone. Some phones go for over $100, about the size of most small quick payday loans. Other companies have sprung up that have similar services, and it isn't surprising – cellular phones add up to about 65,000 tons of waste per year. Think of it as installment loans for the earth if you use Cell for Cash to recycle your old phone.
