The Monkey has been out for a couple months and, since then, we've named the Developer Challenge winners and seen thousands of applications built -- more than 50 of which we've added to the Yahoo! Search Gallery. In the spirit of acknowledging developers' hard work, we want to share a few of our favorites. Remember, you need to click the "Add" button in the Search Gallery in order to see these in your Yahoo! Search results.
