# just a brainstorming area where I can play around with different looks for the API

# one example

  YahooBOSS.web_search(*args) do |results|
    Page.get {|page| pages << page}
  end

end

# another example
@results = []
@pages = []
HTTPMachine.service_access do
  YahooBOSS.web_search("paul dix") do |results|
    @results += results

    results.each do |result|
      Page.get(result.url) {|page| @pages << page }
    end
  end
  
  YahooBOSS.web_search("joe") do |results|
    @results += results
    @
    results.each do |result|
      Page.get(result.url) {|page| @pages << page}
    end
  end
end

# yet another example
