Very cool and well worth checking out. Great talk from Chris, and many thanks to Jim for organising it (and the cakes!) YQL is one of those things that I'd put to one side to explore later, but it only takes a couple of demos like these to start to see the potential. If you're like me and let it pass you by, look at the demos and Chris's slides and go and play.
