Yahoo Pipes was launched by Yahoo a day back. Anyone using UNIX knows , Pipes are used to small command line tools easily by routing the output of one tool as a input of the other. Yahoo pipes is described as “an interactive feed aggregator and manipulator” that allows you to “create feeds that are more powerful, useful and relevant.”

If you have multiple feeds and want to combine those feeds into a single feed, Yahoo pipes gives you the way. Yahoo pipes has a union operator, you can pump in any number of feed to get one feed which is the super set of all feeds you fed in. This feature from Yahoo will be more usefulfor us to combine feeds and make it more meaningful.

O’Reilly Blog has made a clear idea about Yahoo pipes.
