Pipes — 'Rewire the web'

From the website:

••••••••••••••••••••••

Pipes is a powerful composition tool to aggregate, manipulate, and mashup content from around the web.

Like Unix pipes, simple commands can be combined together to create output that meets your needs:

• combine many feeds into one, then sort, filter and translate it.
• geocode your favorite feeds and browse the items on an interactive map.
• grab the output of any Pipes as RSS, JSON, KML, and other formats.
• power widgets/badges on your web site.

They lost me at "Pipes."

You go ahead.
