Louis,

This is a great link, I already tried it a few years ago and nearly 
forgotted it!
The service seem currently down, creating a pipe with an url seem to 
fail everytime.

Also, if people want an easier alternative (also powered by Yahoo) 
Dapper seem also very handy and usefull: http://open.dapper.net/
I just gave a try and seems to work pretty well!
