The future of mash ups - the web as database

Yahoo Pipes is getting a fair bit of interest at the moment as a way graphical way to link up and work with web content and feeds. In a sense it could represent democratization of the mashup phenomenon, from type A programmers to all the rest of us.

I liked this take on it, http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/yahoo_pipes_web_database.php comparing the emergence of yahoo pipes with the emergence of PC based relational databases. There's also a heck of a lot of other commentary out there and it'll be interesting to see how much it takes off.
