Google Mashup Editor on the Horizon
In what looks like a do it yourself mashup solution similar to the Yahoo! Pipes
offering, Google is currently running a limited test of Google Mashup Editor
where "in a few lines of code and one click of a button you can publish your
mashups for the world to see" according to the site.
Google Mashup Editor is an AJAX development framework and a set of tools that
enable developers to create web applications with Google services like Google
Maps or Google Base. It will provide an easy to to utilize information from
feeds and let users see and manipulate. Most interesting to me is that GME will
be using technologies most of us are at least in part familiar with - XML tags,
JavaScript, CSS and HTML. It could be a major step up from Yahoo! Pipes which I
have spent quite a few nights with over the last month or so.
