&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/yws-search-general/message/1757"&gt;Yahoo! Term Extraction and Contextual Web Search services to be discontinued&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
The official closure date is August 31st. Term extraction was really useful—thankfully there are a number of decent alternatives such as Zemanta, OpenCalais and topia.termextract.

Impressive Python term extraction library (similar to the various term extraction web APIs but you can run it on your own hardware), incorporating a Parts-Of-Speech tagging algorithm.
