My First Yahoo Pipe: Dunkin Donuts Locator

Yahoo Pipes is awesome! I started playing around with it the the other day and was immediately impressed with its ease of use and simplicity. It's parsing and aggregating data feeds made easy.

As a quick experiment I set up a pipe called Dunkin Donuts Locator which returns a list of Dunkin Donuts within 20 miles of a location using Yahoo Search. I have ideas for some cool pipes...check back soon.

I'd really like to set up a pipe that aggregates news and other sources to look at impacts on stock prices. Then we can see just how smart Jim Kramer is...
