Yahoo has bought http://www.webjay.org/ Webjay, a website which allows users to create and publish playlists for music, audio or video online through an Ajax interface. Webjay will be integrated into the http://music.yahoo.com/ Y! Music Engine.

The Y! Music blog, says: “Users can create playlists using music/audio/video from around the Web (with a simple Web form, from scraping a Web page, or with a fancy Ajax interface created by a 3rd party using Webjay APIs), share them with others, include them on their Web sites, browse other users playlists, play the playlists in any media player, or cannibalize the playlists to create new ones.” [Source]

Lucas Gonze, who created Webjay, will also be a part of Yahoo.

The blog also mentions that Yahoo is hiring a product manager to help with Y! Music.
