Mashup Technology

Recently I have been trying out the Mashup Editor known as Yahoo Pipes.

This is a fascinating example of how to combine information from different web sites and sources, all done through a visual example.  It is still under development, but it shows a very useful trend toward allowing users to construct complex reports.

While most of the examples that we have seen are consumer-oriented, it is likely that enterprise applications will appear as well.

Check it out here.

Google is developing something similar, but it has not been released yet.

Also, you should check out Microsoft’s Popfly, which is a similar mashup tool.
