I’ve been messing around with Yahoo Pipes, and love the concept even though the implementation is a bit clunky. Fascinating project though, and I’m excited for how this will grow. Although I’m not sure about the name, reminds me a little bit about Ted Steven’s Internet Tubes. …
Here’s a pipe that I’ve set up in three stages:
- The first pipe aggregates book review feeds from the NYT, Washington Post, and several other newspapers from the US and UK.
- The second pipe searches Technorati for an author based on user input.
- The third pipe combines the previous two and subsequently searches Technorati for authors reviewed in pipe #1.
These have been brought together in a two-pane html page using rss2html.

Hey, that’s a cool pipe (or pipes, I guess I should say)! I also wrote another way to bring pipes onto html pages – using pure javascript it’s pretty easy to style and embed any pipe into your pages… if you’re curious, you can check it out:

It’s in use (probably a little too much) all over my blog.
