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
Zemanta returns better and smarter images using Daylife APIs
Zemanta is a tool that makes blogging fun again! by helping bloggers find related articles, images, tags and in-text links to their blog posts as they are writing them on their individual blogging platforms. You simply install the Zemanta Firefox or IE plugin or a Wordpress or MovableType plugin and you are all set to start using the Zemanta pool of suggested articles and images to make your blog posts more relevant and interesting. And integration can't get any slicker.
The Zemanta plugin calls the Daylife Search APIs to find Getty Images related to the text of the blog posts that a blogger is writing. The images from Daylife provide a great pool of relevant content for the blog posts.
Just imagine what is possible if you use the editor that actually understands what you are writing about and helps you make your post, article or page better with suggestions that you can instantly use.
