Talk made perfect sense to me. 🙂

Useful stuff, Yahoo seems to come out with more and more good things (never quite sure what their business plan is). yql looked useful.

And agree with regex. Find it nearly impossible to write my own, hard to get my head in to the right way of approaching a problem.

With all mashups I think there is a split between the informal one-off data extracting/mashing and real Uni/Library services. To be of benefit to library users mashups need to be part of formal services (boring i know) and how we transform informal stuff with (for eg) yahoo pipes in to services which are users can use is something I’m not always clear on.
