Generate your Mashup

Mashups are the key drivers of the Web 2.0 – says the man to whom I refer as my boss. If he is right (and of course he is!) then pipes.yahoo.com has a major impact on the web 2.0 since it is making mashups easy for everyone – kind of a mashup101 tool. Here is what they say about themselves: “Pipes is a powerful composition tool to aggregate, manipulate, and mashup content from around the web.”
Tim O’Reilly, the inventor of the term web 2.0 calls it “a milestone in the history of the internet” – read his blog entry about pipes if you want to get into it in more detail.
The latest pipe coup: they created an iPhone interface for pipes. Being mobile you can still access your mashups – provided you own an iPhone. See some cool pictures about the app here.
The neat thing about pipes.yahoo: it is social, too. Users can publish the pipes they created, there are rankings and featured pipes and so on. So even if you do not want to create pipes yourself you might find something there that is useful for you.
Pipes.yahoo.com went live during the first quarter of 2007. It is our 5 of clubs – my guess is that it will be a 10 in the next edition of our poker game.
