Daniel writes "The Yahoo! Pipes team created two examples that demonstrate how to put a Pipes powered Yahoo! Map onto your website." From the Yahoo! Pipes blog: "We worked with the Yahoo! Maps team to put together two examples that demonstrate how you can take the output from a Pipe containing GeoData and overlay its content on a Y! Map. Using these examples, you can learn how you can start putting Pipes powered Maps on your website. [...] * The first example uses the JSON output from a Pipe.
* The second example uses the RSS output from a Pipe."

Last week Yahoo! announced Pipes,an interactive feed aggregator and manipulator. Slashdot discusses it, but doubtlessly more pertinent, the Google Earth Blog and Ogle Earth have entries on how Pipes relates to geospatial technologies. From the GEB: "The full concept may be a little tricky to grasp if you are not a technologist, but in a nutshell it enables you to easily take the output from one Internet site and feed it to another site as an input which then lets you do something new with the data. [...] Google Earth already has some aspects of this in the form of the network link. A network link lets you get the KML from another server somewhere which may tap into other data to provide you with dynamic content in GE" From OE: "For neogeographers in particular this will be something of a big bang, I suspect.
How? For starters, Kevin Cheng's examples output GeoRSS by default, and the entire "pipe" is geospatially enabled."
