Yahoo Pipes must be one of the great inventions of these times. As they say on their site:

Pipes is an interactive data aggregator and manipulator that lets you mashup your favorite online data sources.

It’s all very AJAX-ified and Web2.0-looking. I’ve recently created 2 new ones getting rid of the uninteresting posts in both Gizmodo and Lifehacker, such as In brief: or Roundups: (also Mac: as I don’t own a Mac yet) Enjoy!
