Dapper is an awesome new web service launched one week ago. Their idea is to turn any web site into a feed even if it’s not built-in.

Basically, if you want to extract a piece of information from a page of a web site, Dapper will propose — through a smart UI — to select the part of the web site you’re interested with and Dapper will do the rest. It will parse and analyse the page to extract the right information. After it will turn it into a feed in any format you want: XML, HTML, RSS, JSON or even YAML.

That’s a really amazing piece of work and the possibilities are just great. I’m now working to integrate it into my web application to help user extract information easily.
