I wanted to wait until having a chance to actually use Pipes before commenting on it, especially given the potential to create or confuse any competitive aspect to Teqlo. My first reaction is that its a great idea and validates what we are doing but like I said, I want to use it first.
On another Pipes note, I was kinda curious to know how Yahoo! could launch a service like this and then not anticipate the demand it would create, which would ultimately bring down their servers. This isnt some angel funded startup, its frickin Yahoo!
It turns out that Pipes was running for two weeks prior to Techcrunch finding it, and get this, it wasnt running on some big server farm but rather just 5 servers on their network, not even in their datacenter.
PS- Im still waiting for someone to tell me put that in your Pipe.
Yahoo's Pipes goes down the tubes » mathewingram.com/work: &but in what has become an all-too familiar event when a new service launches, it has been taken offline due to server overload (and while we're on the subject, why didn't they call it Yahoo Tubes? Much better name).
