Lots of hype around Yahoo's launch of Pipes. Lots of well deserved hype in my view. Of course this is only the first step in something that will become BIG very soon. I'm half way through reading a book "Mashup Corporation" - written by Paul Kurchina (who I've been in contact for years and will hopefully meet soon) and Andy Mullholland (CTO for Capgemini) - a chroncle of "service oriented business transformation".
Here is a blurb "If you thought the first decade of the Internet was disruptive, you aint seen nothin' yet" "the next generation of web-related services and technologies is unleashing a raft of [new] business models that will reorganise the planet"
I tend to agree.
A few years ago I looked to help a friends very "physical" business go online - what he wanted to do needed to be custom built and would have cost too much. We could implement what he wanted today in an afternoon for almost free!!!
Pipes will bring a consumer slant to a concpet that will change the way we think about providing business functionality!
I'll leave O'Reilly to have the last (enthusiastic) word on this
