Well, after Jeroen’s advice in my first post related to Yahoo Pipes I decided to take the bait, and rewrite my first pipe, called GTD Feeds. Not only I updated the core pipe by using a much leaner model, but I also added some feeds in. Now, I only use 3 components, a Feed component, a Filter component, and the default Pipe Output component.
The pipie basically takes 11 GTD realted feeds, take them through a filter where I tried to catch all posts related to GTD from those feeds, and then output them in the browser. Those 11 feeds are from blogs I follow and read reagullary, but I think the pipie support a very larget (not unlimited, I guess) number of feeds. I saw that the pipe was clonned – re-used by somebody else – six times until now, so it seems it’s a usable thing.
One thing I noitced when I published the feed was the sources list is much more larger than the list of feeds. I used as sources for the feeds the “subscribe” links in each blog, some of the feeds are served through FedBurner, some from other means. Maybe the feeds are referencing other feeds or are containing advertisment feeds, don’t know for sure, but if you find an answer do nit hesitate to tell it here.
The pipe is accessible here, and you can subscribe to the generated RSS by following this link. Feel free to reuse, update or integrate this pipe as you see fit.
