Mashing With Yahoo!
Another smart (Tim O'Reilly called it "a milestone in the history of the internet.":-)) step in their off site strategy which is relevant to our WeMedia mashup session. They announced Yahoo! pipes which looks super cool and I'll check out when I get back home.
Coincidentally, Derek Chezzi, Senior News Editor for Yahoo! Canada is here at We Media and participated in our Mix n Mash workshop yesterday. Maybe we should regroup today...
Here's the Lifehacker post
Yahoo! pipes
Hey guys, take a look at Apatar, an Open Source Data Mashup tool (http://www.apatar.com). Apatar helps join your desktop data with the web without coding. Users download the free Apatar GUI to join your desktop data with the web, without coding. Through its numerous connectors you can link data between CSV/Excel files, databases (MySQL, MS SQL, Oracle, DB2, PostgreSQL) and applications like Salesforce.com (API), SugarCRM (API), Compiere ERP, Amazon Web Services and even Web 2.0 apps like Flickr (API). Here is a direct link to the Apatar's page at Sourceforge here http://sourceforge.net/projects/apatar. Check it out & let me know what you think when you get a chance. I can be reached through my blog Naked Open Source http://www.apatar.com/blogs/renat. Renat Khasanshyn
