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

Idea: Newsmakers on the map
May 20 2008 - 08:55 By vineetNewsmakers on the map is a design for a widget or html module that tracks the hot topics in news based on geographic locations. You mouse over or click on a particular region on the map to see the people that are getting the most coverage by the press in that region. You can then select one of those topics below the map and see the top 4 headlines from the sources in that region writing about that person.
Here is a design for a smaller version that can be developed as a grabbable widget.
Read more below to see what methodologies and API calls you will need to implement this design.
This is still an idea, but if you would like to give it a life - let us know.
