(2007-02-08) Yahoo Pipes

Yahoo released Yahoo Pipes today, which provides a PipeLine processor for RSS/Atom Standards feeds. Is this kind of model key to the Attention Management tweaking of the Universal Inbox?

Niall Kennedy gives some details.

Mark Nottingham thinks it's going to be a big wake-up call for the "EnterPrise" software industry.

• I Commented to ask whether Pipes recognizes MicroFormat-s.

A comment on Tim OReilly's coverage notes the existing of RssBus.

Don Park doesn't see this benefiting Yahoo in the end (because it will be too expensive to run - Scalability).

Jon Udell loves the idea. ReST, MicroFormat, Tagsonomy, etc.

Alex Iskold compares it to the Relational Data Base. It is the first GUI builder for the biggest database in the world, the Web itself. (shades of Semantic Web)
