Yahoo Pipes is an interactive tool that enables you to combine many data feeds, like RSS, into a single aggregate. Pipes offers an intuitive visual programming field that lets you filter, remix, and mash-up these feeds to your heart’s content.
In the mean time, here’s the quick guide to building your own Pipe. Note: this guide keeps it simple, but don’t be limited. Once you’ve built a basic Pipe, you can mix and remix until you’ve created the ultimate mash-up. Let’s get started.
There are many, many different ways to use Pipes. Just as in Unix programming (which is where Pipes gets its name from), the possible combinations are endless.
If you get stuck, take a look at Yahoo’s troubleshooting guide. This project is still in beta, so the kinks are still very much in evidence. We’ll keep you posted as the service evolves.
