You create “Dapps” (web services) by using Dapper’s virtual browser to grab content from web pages. Dapper is trained by feeding it several example urls that hold examples of content you’re interested in. Dapper looks at the similarities between the pages to take a guess at the important content to pull from the page. After Dapper has analyzed the page, you can narrow down the fields on the page you want to track. For instance, the titles of stories on Digg. Dapper can then output the content you select from the page in various formats (XML, JSON, HTML, and YAML) and incorporate that data to trigger alerts or even map locations found in the feed.

Basically they allow users or are stealing themselves content: Displaying Google Results directly on their page without Google's AdSense, copying Alexa Charts, etc. etc etc. Isn't that a similar sort of stealing that YouTube's users have done with uploading copyrighted material? Sounds weird to me and think that companies will may be get into legal action. I’m still wondering about copyright issues with services like Netvibes.

It's an interested way that a lot of services are moving to leverage existing data sources (social networking message inboxes in this case) and combine them in one interface. It's all about having your relevant data accessable to you through a simple tool. In the case of Snag though, there is a limit to what you can do. While it is useful for the message aggregation it does not necesarily help manage or improve the connections you have with the people with whom you interact. We are doing some cool stuff over at Convos (www.convos.com) that is in aiming to solve the similar problems of having information in different accounts but allowing people to perform tasks with that information. I like the concept of simple aggregation combined with the ability to be productive with that aggregated data. Looking forward to seeing how this proof of concept plays out.
