Well, this looks pretty amazing. Too bad it’s down right now, I want to play with it! Hopefully it will get online soon and I can update this.

I was very excited about Automator too when it was first announced, and slowly came to the realization that I don’t do repetitive tasks really, at least not ones that can be done without human intervention. The use-case of renaming a million files based on some simple rule sounds nice, but when do you need to do that? Anyway, this being online, and able to parse data feeds might make the difference. I definitely think being able to parse rss is the most useful, and it apparently can do that, but I do also hope that it can do some other types of data as well coming in.

Maybe this will make me like Yahoo again.
