Yahoo! Pipes

My capsule review of Yahoo! Pipes: Awesome! It's a web based tool for wiring together data from various places on the web (RSS Feeds, Google Base, Yahoo! Search), performing operations on them (combine, truncate, filter, translate etc) and then publish the result. You can imagine lots of other types of data sources lke events from calenders and different types of operators like digesting. I wonder if at some point, I'll be able to build a My Yahoo! page in Pipes. At this point, Pipes still seems to be geared towards webheads but it's pretty easy to use. Congratulations to the Pipes team on doing a really nice job! Tim O'Reilly writes about pipes here.
