I like this explanation of yahoo pipes - and the concept of "treating of the web as a database". Me being a database junkie it appeals to my sense of information organising....

I guess it's a search engines job to treat the web as a database - yahoo is just making it more obvious now by letting your average everyday chum to do some of their work for them - and giving them something in return.
I still havent tried it out... so I cant comment too much. You have to sign up to yet another account which is putting me off. I had a yahoo one about 6 years ago - cant remember it now or what email it was signed on as. I'm starting to get account overload.
