I picked this up from Google News and then from Searchblog – Yahoo Pipes (seems very slow right now). Like the others that are buzzing about this, I think it’s going to be a real groundbreaker – but not for the average user, but for the students and researchers. My take on it is of course from the educational side. I’ve always liked Kartoo for the way that it uses a map for the search results it generates and for many younger learners or new learners, these maps are very useful to get the lay of the land.
Pipes, looks to take the same manner of idea and adds a larger of RSS and you have the start of what seems to be the first step to connectivist learning on a larger scale.
