Metadata in Practice – Yahoo Open Hack Day in New York City

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

Last Friday on October 9th I had the pleasure to  join the Yahoo Open Hack Day panel in New York City to discuss “Metadata in Practice”. Paul Ford (Harpers.org) led the panel and I had Hillary Mason (Path101) and Paul Tarjan (Yahoo!) right next to me. With an audience of 35 people we did compete with the “Yahoo! Application Platform Technical Deep Dive” and “The Rise of Social Referrals: Michael Tadlock” session. Paul Tarjan is a senior software engineer at the NextGen group at Yahoo! Search, a founding member of SearchMonkey and self proclaimed Chief Technical Monkey. Paul currently is responsible for the “NextGen” search projects, enabling external developers and publishers to enhance the Yahoo! search experience. Hillary currently works as a data scientist at PATH101 and is a computer science professor in New York. tbc
