Online databases, be warned: you are mine. I just ran across a web broswer from Kirix, called Strata, that's really a "data browser". From their site:
Kirix Strata is a new specialty browser for accessing and manipulating data from the web. View and work with data from web tables, CSV files, and RSS feeds, integrate information from web services to create personal "desktop mashups," browse and work with MySQL, Oracle and other databases.
It's a pretty slick, based on Mozilla's Gecko engine, that's well integrated into the other tools I use (e.g. Office). Beyond being able to automate report creation out of web-based tools, it lets you mashup data from different sources. I am just beginning to test what I can do to (and stats I can generate). Get excited. Does anyone else use other data extraction tools for web-apps? (For example, Selenium IDE).
And, for old times sake, All Your Base... the original video, on YouTube.
