#73I'm building a contact import script for a hip hop artist's newsletter. Essentially its what powers the "invite your friends" button on the newsletter.
I am dealing with yahoo's contacts api at the moment. It seems that althought yahoo! provides a php sdk, a direct fetch of email addresses from a user's address book still requires a restful get request.
The yahoo php sdk makes the oauth stuff really easy though.

#79Currently working on a Super Nintendo Emulator in Java for my senior project in college. The intent is to make it easy to embed the emulator as an applet and link it to a ROM, save states, etc. so visitors to your site can play an SNES game at a point of your choosing (IE a blog post talking about the atmosphere of Zeal in Chrono Trigger with accompanying demo). We're also hoping to allow Javascript to receive inform…
