Brilliant. We have had a SQL like layer to our search api internally at nytimes for along time and one of my goals was to reproduce some version of that for the public but this is just too awesome. YQL is has always been amazing and this is just amazing plus plus.
spullara Glad you like it! NY Times has such a great API and actually the first example that I did internally when you launched the Movie API last year.
Dave's explorations are interesting and I think it only begins to scratch the surface. I am very interested to see where people take this. BTW Robert - if you ever make it to nyc - let us know and we will show around the innards of nytimes.com and what the real geeks do here.
