People all around the world are at this moment raving about a new technology by Yahoo! called Pipes.
Simon Willison says:
“[It is a n]ew Yahoo! service for combining and remixing Atom/RSS feeds using a really sophisticated drag-and-drop UI.”
I guess it is kind of a portal builder which gets its data from Atom and RSS feeds.
I’ll try it when it bloody works because currently “Our Pipes are clogged! We’ve called the plumbers!”…
;-)
Seems like the plumbers have done their job, site is up and running again! ;-)
it could be that their pipes are really clogged. and people have over-hyped the news.
… Being a plumber for Yahoo! must pay more than being a programmer for them…
It’s a great way to play with the feeds. Instead of having hundreds separate ones, all I’ll need is to pipe them into a single one and have it delivered nicely in RSS/atom form. It does great things in pulling stuffs from various sources like Flickr too. I tried playing with it but it’s a bit complicated and I don’t think everybody would be keen in trying that out. Have you? I think the fun gonna spread since you can share your creation with others, the different mixtures you did with the sources of info.
