Ok, firstly the DIY video is very confusing and I'm not really sure what you need to do to create a pipe. On the upside, I do understand how the information from several sources can be channelled through a pipe and that information can be manipulated to suit the users needs.
I was disappointed that the pipe ELO Mash-Up was in fact nothing to do with Jeff Lynne nor the Electric Light Orchestra. However, I digress.
The mashup pipe that did interest me was: Download Newest DVD Releases http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=9odFf1Ij3BGXW5O4jUnRlg.
finding out new DVD releases and their download price on Amazon - very useful stuff to know. Good old Netflix. nuts just tried the link to Amazon and because I am not in the US, it went belly up - typical! In fact a lot of these seem to be US centric includingss: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=KhnzJ9sZ3RGVuS9pxAnzeQ
Show E-bay items on a map - which would have been useful for comparing prices and locations if a purchase was being considered.
Perhaps a move to Lakewood, Colorado is in order.

Pipes, smipes. Everyone found them annoying an confusing. I think normal mash ups are better, though normal people can't make mash ups without knowing about coding. What good are normal people then?
