Yahoo Pipes is still very cool

Posted by: Peter In: Uncategorized

I know that Yahoo Pipes is not a new thing, it came out in 2007 so in web years it is almost a 100 years now, but it is still darn cool! If you somehow have managed to miss what it is, this is how wikipedia describes it:

“Yahoo! Pipes is a web application from Yahoo! that provides a graphical user interface for building data mashups that aggregate web feeds, web pages, and other services, creating Web-based apps from various sources, and publishing those apps”

So why I am blogging about this in 2010? Well, it is still really useful. For many years I have been following the CodeSOD section on the blog “The daily WTF”, the rest of the stuff on there is funny as well, but I enjoy the CodeSOD the most. On the blog there was no option of subscribing to only one section, so i deiced to create a Pipe to feed me the CodeSOD only.

The user interface is super easy, just drag items from the list on the left and connect them together:
CodeSOD Pipe

My CodeSOD pipe can be found here if you want to subscribe to it!

Yahoo Pipes rocks! I only use it to compile a massive blog RSS feed merged with certain tweets. It’s great.

Only issue for me is that I don’t know any regex, so it’s a lot of playing in the dark. But good learning.
