 I know this is totally off topic and 100% Playstation free, but my new pet Nabaztag is really fueling my imagination. While thinking about various new use cases for Nabaztag it always boils down to leveraging the rabbits RSS reader capabilities. So what could be possible RSS feeds? How about todays TV program announced by Nabaztag at 8 pm? Or what about the movie program? But how do you deal with web pages that don't provide those infos at a ready to use RSS feed?
This is where Yahoo Pipes comes to the rescue. One of the most amazing Web 2.0 tools based on the simple concept that any kind of data can be converted in an RSS data set and transformed through various operators and aggregators to meet your specific requirements. Literally a RSS mixer. Based on the data that's out there on the net just waiting for someone to grab it and use it, there is hardly anything Nabaztag couldn't inform you about. Can you imagine to get informed about certain auctions on ebay that meet your specific requirements. Pipes can do that and let Nabaztag tell you about. We definitely need more apps and services that generate RSS as result sets. If you want to see RFID and the Internet at work, Nabaztag is the device for you. Upps, I forgot, we are talking about a toy here ;-) P.S. Still looking for a PS3 related application ... but wait, what about an RSS feed that lists you all of your PSN contacts being online? Soooonyyyy
