This hack enables 2-way commenting for any event between Yahoo network and a third party network. Gave a working demo on wordpress with comments flowing between "Yahoo updates widget and wordpress. So any comments on wordpress would show up immediately in "Yahoo Updates" widget and vice versa. The user could also filter the comments only from his friends. It was a full fledged working system with captcha integrated.
