Yahoo! Pipes - An Interesting Tool for Making Mashups

There have been a lot of new Web2.0 sites that are launched everyday and it’s been awhile since I really get excited over a really good one.

As I was reading my newsfeeds just now, I discovered this new service by Yahoo! - Yahoo! Pipes. It’s a web-based widget-development tool for users to create mashups using feeds and APIs. It’s so easy to use and looks kind of fun. Now making mashups no longer need experienced programmers.

To try out Yahoo! Pipes, I challenge anyone to make a mashup using Ping.sg’s data. I can make an API for any data, provided it’s not confidential like email addresses, that you need, just simply let me know.

Now I’m gonna find some time to play around with it when I’m free. Let’s see if I could come up with something interesting.

Yahoo! scores for this one over originality, revolution and ease-of-use. Let’s see what Google and Microsoft are coming up next.

Now I can’t wait to leave my boring Final Year Project lab at I2R so I could play around a bit with Yahoo! Pipes.

So these pipes means that you could combine different posts and articles together?

Yahoo Pipes allows you to take XML feeds (e.g. RSS), aggregate them, filter them, process them and produce data from them by mashing up with other data sources (e.g. flikr photos). So the answer to your question is yes, provided you can access XML data on the posts and articles, but you can also do much more.
