In this podcast I will try to convince you to spend some time with a few new online tools and applications. Some are geo-focused, others more broadly focused but I think all of them indicate where we as an industry are going. They include: Yahoo! Pipes, Microsoft Popfly, Google Experimental and OpenLayers.
