I just created a screencast describing some of the things you can do with this module.
It can be viewed at http://nodeone.se/blogg/nodeone-talks-drupal-views-3-yql

If you like it I'd be honored to have a link to it on the project page.

In the process I also created another demontration view. It contains an example of how to manipulate the field contents, so there could be a case for including it in the list of views that comes with the project. (However, it just might be one example too many.)

The view is attached as an export. If you're interested I'll make a patch that includes it with the module itself.

Thanks again for a mind-blowing module.

Thanks Johan!

I just watched this and it is cool. I will include it in the front page. You pointed some of the remaining things that I have not done:
- Views is already updated. #621142: Allow the query builder to define options is already applied to Views 3.x-dev
- Arguments have not been tackled properly

However, exposed filter should have worked (see yql_sushi view example). Maybe you can start another issue on what occurrence it does not work.

You're perfectly right -- the exposed filter works as expected.
I remember having some problems with it, but I guess that was just me screwing up some settings. If I get similar problems again I'll try to pin down what's happening, and in the next screencast I'll mention that the exposed filters are working just fine.

Thanks for including the screencast! Looking forward to recording the next one and combining YQL with Panels.

Cheers,
