What are good alternatives to Yahoo! Pipes?
I feel like this is a very important question, but do not have a clear answer yet. I’m worried that the deteriorating condition of Yahoo Inc may not bode well for the future of Yahoo Pipes…. I believe that DERI Pipes is not currently operational. Of course, the *idea* of DERI Pipes is fantastic, just like the *idea* of Yahoo Pipes is great….
I’ve been struggling some days with Superfeedr Superpipes [1], and haven’t succeeded in getting it to work properly. I recently found Cordys Process Factory, and made a webpage aggregating videos about it [2]; unfortunately so far, the various critiques about Cordys on the web seem to be holding true. I found Cordys by checking Wikipedia Category:Mashup (web application hybrid) [3]. I’m not really happy with the “mashup platform” designation; I’m really more interested in cloud based middleware, or visual IDE. See also my recent replies to What are the best characteristics of a middleware platform? & RSS: Is there a viable replacement for Feedburner for bulk feed management? .
