I see a lot of folks here asking about what happened to the original Yahoo Pipes.

We had the same question, so we went and talked with a lot of the original team and wrote up the story[0]. We also made a fun mini-site that contains a lot of easter eggs (e.g. if you click on the "Memory Pipes" folder on the desktop, you'll see a bunch of candid photos of the original team circa 2007)
