Redotting from Bill Bliss.
This looks pretty keen. It's a service to allow you to create customized "screen scrapes" from web site on the internet. Dapper does some intelligent parsing to try to auto-determine the structure of data from a web site. But you can also give it specific matching rules, to pattern match various fields in from the web site.
Once created, you can access the scraped data as XML, RSS, HTML, JSON, etc. Lots of flexibility.
The really cool part - all "dapps" are shared. After 24 hours, they "lock down" the dapp description and make it public. Now anyone can use it (and they don't have to worry that someone will change the definition out from under them). Interesting concept about sharing data schema. Of course, you can create a new dapp from an old one and then modify to your heart's content.

It gives any developer access to the same highly scalable, reliable, fast, inexpensive data storage infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites. The service aims to maximize benefits of scale and to pass those benefits on to developers.
