Yesterday was the launch of Yahoo! Pipes. I haven't had the time to try it myself - and it appears to be down all the time, anyway, most because of the attention it's receiving.
Pipes seems to be a web development ambient that allows users to mash RSS Feeds up to get more interesting and focused information in an easily and fashion way. Everybody is talking about it (from BoingBoing to O'Reilly Radar and HacksZine) and I think the idea sounds fantastic, bringing Yahoo! (finally) to be the first one to release something really new. Let's watch what move Google will be doing...
There's also some interesting news today about ColdFusion. As I wrote in the previous post, the combined force of ColdFusion plus Flex is huge. Adobe released today a case study of a solution to deliver risk management information in a powerful, meaningful and easy way. Very interesting, specially because of the integration with LogicERM.
Second interesting news today was the announcement of the third (or second?) coming of Ben Forta to Brasil. Great! It'll happen in February, 28th, at São Paulo and you can get all details here. I read it at the CFBrasil mailing list and at CFGigolô blog. Alex Hubner, CFGigolô founder, is one of the most devoted ColdFusion developers here in Brasil and member of the AUG-SP board of directors and CFBrasil mailing list manager.
Some years ago we had Marcello Frutig too, but it appears he (sadly) retired from development. This makes me remind that I first met Frutig at previous visit of Mr. Forta, at Rio de Janeiro - I've had to travel about 15 hours in two buses to go -, in October, 2003.
At that time Flex was a secret "in development" by Macromedia (!) and I was questioning Mr. Forta (in a shame poor English that made me blush) about how Flex and ColdFusion could live together (and if Flex wasn't a ColdFusion killer!) and about the support from Macromedia to hosting companies.
It's sad to note that I think today as then: it's poor and keeps youngster from learning and developing in CF, as they don't have hosting at a reasonable price - or don't have a host at all. I sure hope Adobe change things with Scorpio (CF8) to stay competitive. This is one topic I'll be watching.
