Yahoo! Pipes and The Web As Database Written by Alex Iskold and edited by Richard MacManus. In this post Alex tests out and explores the emergent world of Yahoo! Pipes. He sees some interesting parallels with Relational Databases in the 90's, concluding that with pipes, the Web essentially becomes a giant database that can be queried and remixed in any number of ways.

Web 2.0 newcomers MySpace and YouTube have shown how this can be done on a mass scale surprisingly quickly, and of course older generation successes like eBay and craigslist have been doing this for years. Particularly younger, Web-savvy users have been encrusting their blogs and MySpace profiles with things like badges and widgets for a while now, especially now that a significant number of Web sites have opened up their content to let users do this.

45 Interesting Web 2.0 Services And Applications That Can Make Y Web 2.0 is a category of new Internet tools and technologies created around the idea that the people who consume media and use the Web shouldn't passively absorb what's available.

So we would need powerful Web services and applications to aggregate and remix micro-content in new and useful ways. Web applications can be defined as "software delivered as a service over or on the Web" in short SaaS. These applications provide value by allowing users to create, collaborate, collect, and get work done; all within a familiar Web browser window.
