Yahoo Pipes - What It Means for Google Earth/Maps - See Earthify: “
Yesterday Yahoo released a new beta product called Yahoo Pipes. This tool has already been called ‘…a milestone in the history of the Internet’ by visionary Tim O’Reilly. The full concept may be a little tricky to grasp if you are not a technologist, but in a nutshell it enables you to easily take the output from one Internet site and feed it to another site as an input which then lets you do something new with the data. (Those of us who have lots of Unix experience are quick to grasp the concept). The Google Maps mashups you hear about all the time (combining unique data and applications with maps) are an example of manually developed ‘pipes’. Yahoo Pipes makes it even easier using a graphical diagram to architect by drag and drop mashups (and more). So, for example you can take the home page of the New York Times, find all the words which are locations, and then find pictures at Flickr which represent those locations. What I am excited about is that it should be possible to include applications which can handle KML and both process and generate GE content combined with other data sources to generate really unique GE visualizations. Read on for an example of what I’m talking about in the form of a thing called Earthify.
