Watch this space

Exactly a month after me, I see that Microsoft is to back Open ID. If only I had a clearer idea what it is.

I've also got a hunch that the new Yahoo Pipes might be important, though I'm similarly vague as to what use it might be to me.

Pipes is a hosted service that lets you remix feeds and create new data mashups in a visual programming environment.

With any luck, I'll dream up something to try it out on over the weekend.

Up to my neck, or out of my depth? The jury is still out.
