Last December, I was quite impressed on a code search engine, i.e. Krugle and did posted a post on this company. Krugle has recently secured a partnership with Yahoo! Developer Network, and they come out with a new site that named as ydn.krugle.com.

Steve Larsen, CEO of Krugle remarked, “One of the reasons for Yahoo!’s success has been the company’s strong belief in opening up its products for third party developers. By publishing open APIs and helpful documentation, they create an active and engaged community and encourage developers to create applications which utilize Yahoo!’s technology in new and innovative ways. With this partnership, Krugle will make it easier than ever to leverage the true potential of Yahoo!’s open APIs and Web Services.” According to this article.

By forming this partnership, I think Yahoo! and Krugle will create a strong network and online tools for the developers to find, and share the codes available on the Web. Before this, I was thinking that maybe Yahoo! will create something similar to the Google code search engine on the Web, but it seems that Yahoo! is more likely to form partnerships or buy some good startups rather than develop their own business units.
