Yahoo! Pipes unveiled
wow, the whole web is singing the praises of Yahoo! Tubes Pipes, a new mashup-service announced earlier today. unfortunately, the Pipes-servers haven’t been responding for most of the evening, Yahoo’s engineers have either underestimated the impact of this announcement or the ressources a service which could be described best as universal RSS-mashup-engine might suck up. however, from what I’ve seen in the short period of availability, Pipes offers a drag&drop interface which allows users to query, combine, filter, merge etc various source-feeds into one output-feed. besides pre-defined RSS-sources (including Google Base, surprisingly), users may of course add any given RSS-feed (OPML-support seems to miss). very promising so far, lets hope the plombers fix the Pipes soon…

Hey Michael,
I think it should be fun having a community building applications based on this product. I am trying to build one such community .
Would love to know what you think…
