So we’re having a good time at Expo. More photos and stories will come as soon as we catch our breath, but in the mean time perhaps you’ll enjoy this photo of Aaron Fulkerson, founder of MindTouch, picking me up in front of our Lego wall.
If you’re at Expo and haven’t come by, stop by tomorrow!
Yahoo has released today a new service called Pipes.
If you’re a Dapper user, think of it as a very nifty and visually appealing version of our Dapp linking feature, only today focused around RSS feeds. If you’re a Mac user, think of it as web based Automator. There’s some cool JS mojo in the works there. Really nice. Wish we had such an interface for the linking feature. Kudos to Bradley and the team for making it happen.
Naturally, many people writing about it have mentioned Dapper. It is a good complementary fit, and we’ll see how things unfold with pipes as it transforms from a cool project to show Yahoo still got it into a somewhat more strategic play.
All in all, it’s exciting times to be in this space.
If you’re into building mashups, you’ll like this. As of today, and throughout February, you have a chance to win an iPod and a $200 iTunes gift certificate by just building a mashup. Here are the details:
Proto is a cool company we met at Mashup Camp. They have a visual software application (IDE) for building desktop mashups. Last week they launched a daily contest where the most popular mashup submitted to their site that day wins a new iPod. They’ve invited us to co-sponsor the competition, and we’ve gladly accepted. As a result, starting today, if you win the contest AND used a Dapp to power your proto mashup, you’ll get and iPod from Proto AND a $200 worth iTunes gift certificate from Dapper.
You can read more about it in our official announcement.
Getting a fully loaded iPod was never so easy…
