Yahoo Launches Pipes, an RSS Remixing Tool

Yahoo has unveiled a new data manipulation/mashup platform called Yahoo Pipes (although they seem to be currently clogged). According to Yahoo, "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."

This is beyond my capacity to properly explain at the moment, and I have tons of more search-related things to cover today, so I'll leave this one to others who know what they're talking about:
