Yahoo pipes is a visual programming environment for web apps. http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/
Pipes are a method for remixing the web It is a method for mashing up the web. See Google tech talks on pipes
There are similarities with procedural programming. Pipes are like Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs) In fact they are a direct method of implementing them.
See the Wallace pipe here (update this link,Ian)
A good way to learn about these things is to start using an RSS reader. It is all part of the web2 culture. For example I could keep myself informed on any updates regarding the dissertation subject. (WOW!)
Research topics might be blogs, wikis, RSS, delicious, facebook etc.
Ians job is to give a 5 minute presentation on the delicious site and a written report on it also (why don't you create a blog post?)
what's it used for? what does it look like? how does it work? how would you build one?
Have a quick look at the student wiki at uwe
