The backend certainly remains mysterious, to me at least! Hi Bruce,

yes, it seems a lot of people are excited by the possibilities of this kind of mashup, and how (relatively) simple it is. The backend certainly remains mysterious, to me at least!

I've not come across pipes before but my gut instinct is that yahoo have deployed a usable metaphor. Mashups are mysterious things but if you can make it all drag and drop then the Myspace generation can do it. If the Myspace generation can do it then it'll take off. This is well worth keeping an eye on. Is it transliteracy, I don't know but it feels like it and my working definition of transliteracy these days is "if it feels like it it might be". Seriously, I suspect that transliteracy is about deploying multiple literacies. Pipes might be a metaphor for how these literacies interact. Oh this is really interesting.
