Yahoo! Pipes

So, after my anti-Yahoo! post, they release this thing called Pipes.

Basically, it's Automator for the world.

It's pretty fucking awesome.

Yes, I know all that could be coded with some parsing of xml feeds, blah blah blah.... and that all Yahoo! did was put it in a GUI.

Yes, so did Apple in 1984. Pretty much 90% of every adopted innovation throughout history is removing complexity from an existing task.

Check it out, if nothing else, it's fun to play with.
