TechCrunch looks at 5 services that allow you to “mix, rip, and mash your data.” A review:
- Yahoo Pipes
A GUI web app that lets you create new data feeds by remixing syndication feeds (RSS, Atom, RDF.) - Teqlo
You build mashups by dropping specialized widgets onto the canvas and specifying interactions between them. - Proto
Used to join your desktop apps with the web. - Dapper
a web based application for generating XML for website content. You create “Dapps” (web services) by using Dapper’s virtual browser to grab content from web pages. - OpenKapow
the industrial strength version of Dapper. It’s a desktop app that programs RSS feeds, REST apps, and web clips through a browser interface.
Read/Write Web looks at FeedBlendr – a web service that lets you remix your RSS feeds. ProgrammableWeb also has some great info on widgets and Pipes.
