Remixing the Web with Yahoo! Pipes

Hi All,
I’m pleased to say that we’ve got an early beta of Pipes available today. This is a tool for developers to remix data on the web and we are hoping that you find it useful. Please bear in mind that the initial version is here for feedback, so don’t hesitate to use the links on the site. I’m really looking forward to where this service will lead.
Tim has been kind enough to write about our service better than I could and the same goes for Jeremy.
As for me, my favorite pipe is European Performance Car News. When Pasha Sadri first told me about his idea, I immediately wanted to have this pipe. It pulls automotive news from my favorite sites (Autoblog, Fourtitude, and Jalopnik) and filters them for the makes that I’m interested in. It’s a simple pipe, but it’s an example of how you can use pipes to quickly scratch an itch you’ve been having.

I’ll try and comment some more on that particularly working on the “line” connectors which I hope people will enjoy [...]
[...] The team themselves are the best resources for more info: – Pasha, who deserves all the credit for both the idea and leading the team, – Edward, whose passion is matched only by his technical skill, – Jonathan, the man behind what may be the slickest AJAX application on the web, – Kevin, who joined recently but completely took the design to a new level in a matter of weeks – and Daniel, without whom this would be just another great idea that never would have seen the light of day.

[...] Swinging big. Yahoo! Pipes is live! Go play around with it. It’s really good stuff with almost limitless possibilities. I didn’t work on it personally, and I’m speaking from an end-user perspective. Jeremy Zawodny, Tim O’Reilly and Ed Ho (one of the Pipes developers) described the product in detail earlier today already, so go read. And play. Have fun! Awesome job, esteemed colleagues. [...]

[...] Yahoo! Pipes was built by Pasha Sadri, Ed Ho, Jonathan Trevor, Kevin Cheng, and Daniel Raffel. I work in the row of cubes right beside the team and it’s been inspiring to watch Pipes go from idea to reality (I was lucky enough to work closely with Ed and Jonathan last year when we released the Checkmates prototype at eTech).

Congratulations man (and thanks =), this is definitely super sweet..
Now I just have to carve out some time to make something that takes the national weather forecast, current oil price, blog and news commentary, and price of energy stocks to tell me when I should make some trades..
