Check my other Yahoo Pipes

I prefer Google reader to keep myself updated in lil net-e world which has more than zillions of pages which keep updatin every second, n' itz impossible to visit them everytime n' check wether they got somethin new or not, so I use Google reader cause it’s the best RADAR as far I know to track the sites which gives me uncluttered simple view of my favorite feeds, from last 9 months the time from when I got employed I’m using it extensively cause I get few minutes to get myself updated i know I’m too busy.

I’ve noticed that from last 48 hours my Lil Google reader has piled up with feeds of Pipes of yahoo, everybody is writing about it from the time it has launched (7th feb 07) . So I thought I should try to find out what the heck it is I thought I should also pen down something about it some of my findings. Well I don’t have any extraordinary findings it’s all the same crap that geeky people is writing about from its documentation page. So here I go.

Confused what da hell it is??

Well it means you can use Pipes to pick a few feeds to retrieve data from, set up rules for processing the data which is provided by those feeds, prompt for user input in your processing, and then output the processed results as another feed or object format for use in your own applications. In the simplest case, you can apply some straightforward rules to a feed and then subscribe to the end result. – Anil Dash

Pipes can take any feed as input, and combined with the already available list of functions proves to be very powerful, It was inevitable that such a product would be released, and it is very good for Yahoo! that they managed to be the first of the big web companies to release such a product. - Nik Cubrilovic

Enough from experts, now listen to me-

Well folks continue to blow me away with what can be done with JavaScript and Ajax. Seriously. Yahoo Pipes is amazing. Truly. I can remix various feeds make out my kind of mashup by filtering out non-essentials feeds that I really don’t care about. The beauty of Pipes is its simplicity. Anyone can get it in few minutes well just once go through the modules function and start building Pipes in few minutes you don’t need to be Geeky Plumber to setup the Pipes. I can build my Pipes, share it and host it all for free. The best thing is that I can clone others Pipes, edit it, make changes and give it’s my own name . My mind is still buzzing thinking about all that can be done with Pipes.

The easiest way to understand Pipes is to build one yourself - try editing one of our sample Pipes for a quick start.

So I tried to make my own Pipes

My first target was Indiatimes RSS feed

Just go through it http://info.indiatimes.com/rss/#etfeeds

You can find that there is so many RSS feeds, If I go on subscribing them then it’ll consume my whole day also left bar will filled up Indiatimes feeds only they do have combined all feed to single OPML feed but Google reader can’t read OPML feeds. But when I learn about Yahoo Pipes I said yessssssssssss…..Now I can grab all latest news from Times of India

I'm not goin to describe here how I made my 1st Pipes to run coz I'm not in mood to write long post.

Good thing is that their developers know about it say it's on their ToDo List.

Senduit allows to share your files (up to 100 MB) in simple two steps just upload and share the links. you can choose expiry date from 30 minutes to 1 week. I think Senduit is the best non-complicated way to share larger files as far I know.
