Yahoo! Pipes
Posted by Brett Tackaberry on February 9th, 2007
The good people at Yahoo have just launched Yahoo Pipes. “Pipes is an interactive feed aggregator and manipulator. Using Pipes, you can create feeds that are more powerful, useful and relevant.” Very cool stuff indeed. This really takes the leg work out of developing aggregators and the like. Not to mention, it has legs. There is a lot of room for growth and I was pretty excited to try it out.
This post wouldn’t be complete without my first attempt, dubbed “Shift+Control catgeories thru Flickr”: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/ILK4nQW42xGW05_3qu5lkA
I would say this is a pretty big development in the Google/Yahoo arms race – and hot on the heels of Yahoo’s new Search Marketing service Panama launched earlier this week.
