Yahoo! Pipes
Yahoo! Pipes is a free service provided by Yahoo! which allows people to manage their RSS, Atom etc online feeds. This is useful as it enables one to search/sort feeds more efficiently. Yahoo! Pipes allows the input of any website, and has inbuilt features which will check if feeds are available for that site. Once a site that has feeds available is inputted, the user can chose from a wide variety of different operators to allow them to sort feeds.
Mashup is a word used to describe a Pipe, as it allows specific content from various websites to be grouped together.
I used Yahoo! Pipes to sort all of my posts on this blog which do not have the word ‘task’ in them. You can see my results here –> http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=4877dcb51ca1062f95e6b1d9b65fa3b4
