What exactly is Yahoo! Pipes?

9 February 2007 By Avinash Meetoo 4 Comments

People all around the world are at this moment raving about a new technology by Yahoo! called Pipes.

Simon Willison says:

“[It is a n]ew Yahoo! service for combining and remixing Atom/RSS feeds using a really sophisticated drag-and-drop UI.”

I guess it is kind of a portal builder which gets its data from Atom and RSS feeds.

I’ll try it when it bloody works because currently “Our Pipes are clogged! We’ve called the plumbers!”…

Liverpool bought by Americans

7 February 2007 By Avinash Meetoo 23 Comments

In case you didn’t notice, Liverpool FC has been bought by George Gillet and Tom Hicks.

Like most Liverpool FC fans, I welcome the money (Chelsea and ManU fans know that without money one cannot win the Premiership) but I’m a little bit afraid of Liverpool being americanized…

Only time will tell…

(An update: this is a Super Liverpool Reds Roster)

(Another update: After one and a half year, most Liverpool fans want the Americans out. George Gillet and Tom Hicks have failed to finance the new stadium and, instead, have increase the amount of debts of the club. In addition to that, they had preliminary contacts withÂ JÃ¼rgen Klinsmann (as a replacement for Rafael Benitez) who they discovered while browsing!)
