I think this has some value potentially now, but they should not use “pipes” to describe it. Yahoo pipes is dead and there is no point associating one self with that brand anymore. The concept is easy enough to explain without using that word.



Unix pipes came before yahoo pipes (in fact they took their name from unix pipes).

Unix pipes are alive and well, or are they also an association with a dead product?


What's wrong with the word "pipes"?


Pipes was created back when people were looking up alternatives for the Yahoo service. It isn't a new project.
