Yahoo! Pipes

I have been using pipes for past 2 years or so .. and have created some useful pipes for myself.

Yahoo Pipes[http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/] allows you to create mash ups from sites providing RSS[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS] feeds.

My latest pipe http://pipes.yahoo.com/bssarath/news displays the news feeds obtained from various news sites and plots them on a Map.

This i feel is a new way of looking at the news based on location.

Each news is indicated by a baloon and clicking on it will take you to the actual source.

I am reading my news from here instead of any one site.

Thanks Yahoo... for providing this functionality.

I am planning to take this up to next level and launch it as a site.

Lets see, if i succeed in this ... or this add to the TODO DREAMS list of mine.
