(InfoWorld) - Yahoo Inc. has launched a service called Pipes designed to let regular users mix different RSS and Atom feeds and create data "mashups," a process that so far has required programming knowledge. Pipes features a drag-and-drop interface that the company hopes non-technical users will find simple and intuitive as they manipulate content syndication feeds to combine data in new and useful ways. An example of a Pipe is this one , which meshes listings from Craigslist with data from Yahoo's local search engine to display apartments for rent near any business, Yahoo said. Another one collates news about topics chosen by the user from a variety of sources. "Pipes' initial set of modules lets you assemble personalized information sources out of existing Web services and data feeds. Pipes outputs standard RSS 2.0, so you can subscribe to and read your pipes in your favorite aggregator. You can also create pipes that accept user input and run them on our servers as a kind of miniature Web application," reads Yahoo's description of the service , posted Wednesday night. While Pipes today lets users mix data from RSS and Atom feeds, Yahoo hopes to extend the service to support other data formats, Web services, processing modules and output renderings, Yahoo said. For example, Yahoo will open up access to the Pipes engine to programmers and add support for the KML data source, which is used to display geographic data in Google Inc.'s popular Google Earth mapping application and Google Maps Web site. The initial response from observers has been enthusiastic. "Yahoo's new Pipes service is a milestone in the history of the Internet," Tim O'Reilly, founder and CEO of computer book publisher O'Reilly Media Inc., wrote on his blog . "While it's still a bit rough around the edges, it has enormous promise in turning the Web into a programmable environment for everyone." The Pipes Web site, available throughout this morning, was nonetheless down at press time, displaying the message: "Our Pipes are clogged! We've called the plumbers!"

(InfoWorld) - Business Objects will acquire Nsite Software, which develops a software-as-a-service delivery platform, in a move to offer more of its own products over the Internet, the companies announced. Business Objects said it will integrateÂ some of Nsite's SaaS technologiesÂ into its own product line, allowing it to release more of itsÂ business intelligence softwareÂ in the form of services next year. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. The move follows growing interest in SaaS, which requires end users to have only an Internet connection and little or no software installed locally. The goal is to reduce the cost of deploying and maintaining applications. Nsite, based in Sunnyvale, California, sells a product called On Demand Enterprise, used by companies to develop applications that can be accessed over the Web through a browser. It also offers a library of programs for delivering over the Internet, called Application Center, which includes software for tasks such as channel management, quotes and sales. And it offers tools for building and customizing SaaS applications. Its product use AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and Extensible Markup Language) technologies to deliver information faster, and can connect to Salesforce.com's CRM (customer resource management) applications via Web service interfaces. Business Objects launched it first on-demand offering in April with CrystalReports.com, for creating and sharing business reports over the Web through a browser. Many of the 7,000 customers are signed up for the free service for 10 or fewer seats, but Business Objects hopes to grow larger, paid installations. Business Objects, which will take on 27,000 current Nsite customers, said it will continue to sell and support Nsite's products.
