Pipes Never Sleep

I'm starting to wonder if the folks in Pipes have coffee pumped straight into their cubes.
Over on the Pipes blog, looks like there yet more new features they released over the weekend.
One of the cooler ones is that now you can have your pipe feed JSON objects back to whatever you want, including Javascript mashups, AIR apps, or really anything that understands JSON.
Still, that's not all they did. They also released a Yahoo! content Shortcuts module and replaced the old content analyzer with a more powerful (and simpler) "Term Extractor". The Shortcuts here are mostly the same sort of quick links you get when browsing articles on Y!News for things like people, places, concepts, and what not. Pretty handy if you're looking for a clever way to find key elements for blogs (and would make for some pretty killer ego-surfing).
