Yahoo’s latest invention is amazing: Pipes allows the user to visually mix and mash all kinds of web-based RSS and Atom feeds. Have you ever wanted to combine a number of blog feeds into one, and then filter the content according to some simple criteria… that’s the sort of thing that Pipes can take care of really easily.
Later today I will have a go at using it on one of the sites I run where I face exactly this challenge.
For now, be gentle on the system. It’s still pretty new, crashes often and has no support for the kind of scripting that would make Pipes truly useful, however I can see where this application is headed, and I am sure Google are just kicking themselves for not having invented it first.
