Yahoo Pipes - A Great Research Tool
By Krishna De on Jun 4, 2008 in Web 2.0, Technology, Internet, Social Media
Are you researching for a key project or assignment you are working on?
I know many of us turn to the web to find information perhaps about a potential client as we write proposals, about the industry sector a client is involved in so that we come well versed in their business and look to places where we can add value, or even checking out a competitor as part of the development of our business strategy or brand plan.
A free tool I have recently come across which I think has tremendous opportunities for research is Yahoo Pipes.
Yahoo Pipes provides you with the ability to aggregate, manipulate, and mashup content from around the web creating a feed with relevant information. you can also publish your Yahoo Pipe so that others can access it or modify it for their own use.
Take a look at this video (above) that shows you how to create your own pipe of research data.
