Here’s an easy way to stay up-to-date with the latest web videos on any topic you choose.
It’s a simple application that allows you to search for videos on any topic. It uses a variety of search engines and then combines the results into a single RSS feed. I personally use it by entering a search term and then subscribing to the resulting RSS feed.
I created this Pipe using the new Yahoo! Pipes tool. The new Yahoo! Pipes application gives a lot of bang for your buck (especially since it’s free). The tool does leave some things to be desired but overall it’s a pretty good toy. (One big addition I’d like to see is the ability to add my own sources.)
IBM has recently released a similar and more advanced tool called QEDWiki. I’m just getting started with that tool. I think I’ll try to create a similar search feed and then compare the two tools.
If anyone is interested I’ll create a video showing exactly how I created this Pipe and the thinking behind its design. Just leave a comment letting me know what you’d like to see.
As you can see, mashups are the new EII (Enterprise Information Integration).
And with companies like Yahoo! and IBM releasing mashup creation tools the trend
toward decentralized data will only accelerate. Now we just these kind of tools behind the firewall!
