    More Mashup Tools Thanks to Yahoo!

    I've featured some cool mashup tools on Bits O' NewMedia in the past. Dapper.net is one of my favorite and the driving force behind my experimental site midessamashup.com.

Plus, you know that Yahoo! has the resources to maintain the Pipes service and continue to improve it. It will be interesting to see where it goes in the near future.
