Mashups open up business Web 2.0 opportunities
|
Mashup tools allow users to drag-and-drop software components and web services from a palette or pool and assemble these into a new content service or application. The tools available today range from developer-oriented to business user-focused.
Early in 2007, Yahoo released Yahoo Pipes, a visual mashup builder that tech guru Tim O'Reilly hailed as a milestone in the history of the internet. It is inspired by the UNIX grep tool that takes in a stream of data, manipulates it (e.g. by selecting unique cases or sorting the data) and outputs the results. Pipes allows a similarly simple piping of web services and data sources, provides an easy-to-use block workflow environment for manipulating the data and then outputs the results in various formats: web page content, email alert, RSS reader, JavaScript, and hosted URL, etc.
