Mash it all together using Yahoo! Pipes



I came across Yahoo Pipes! completely by random. It is essentially a web application provided by Yahoo! to build data mashups from web feeds, web pages and other web services and has a GUI to simplify the process.

One application of Yahoo Pipes! that I found of interest, was to aggregate data on jobs taken from the CCL.net (Computational Chemistry Jobs Board) by Sara Nichols, a postdoc in the McCammon group.



She has created a pipe capable of producing either RSS feeds or JSON that can be incorporated into webpages.
