Yahoo! Pipes
 Some people have called it a "mash-up generator".  It's Pipes and it's now in the Web 2.0 Beta over at Yahoo!.  You can take data from RSS feeds or other sources and cross-reference them with something else.  For example, I found a Pipe that would allow me to view only the eBay auctions that match Phil Keaggy and are priced between $5 and $20.  To be honest, most of the Pipes look like they're just a copy of the RSS feed, but whatever.  Someone claims that they're similar to relational databases, but I don't know if I agree with that.  I'm sure people will do cool stuff because there's even such things as a Google Maps module.  Who knows, somebody might create the next big thing on this, I dunno.
