[Screenshot of the Bryght Pipe blending several RSS feeds originally shown here.]
Go Yahoo go! Unix pipes for the Web generation! Visual programming for everybody! A geeky cross platform Hypercard (well ok, not quite!). I've created my first Yahoo Pipe and it's a crude attempt to combine all the Bryght RSS feeds together (Bryght Pipe, the RSS feed for Bryght Pipe). A bug: I had to logout and log back in for my Pipes to work (oh beta software!). Shades of my Remixing RSS presentation from 2005! Much more later!
FROM Pipes: Rewire the web:
Pipes is a hosted service that lets you remix feeds and create new data mashups in a visual programming environment. The name of the service pays tribute to Unix pipes, which let programmers do astonishingly clever things by making it easy to chain simple utilities together on the command line.
