Yahoo Pipes - Web 2.0 through 'a series of tubes'

Yahoo has put together an extremely clever system that lets you wire together (remix, if you like your buzzwords) a variety of web services.
An example (inspired my Bert Boerland) is a pipe that aggregates anything it can find about 'CivicActions' from eBay, Flickr, Google and Yahoo. It's a great tool, and an impressive editing UI.

Of course - the fun part is that multiple pipes can be connected together!

I've been messing around with Pipes for the last 48 hours or so. Admittedly, I'm a sucker for graphical programming environments, but the logic behind Pipes was instantly clear. It's a great step forward in information management and greatly advances the current state of aggregation. No wonder O'Reilly called it a milestone!
