I created my first Yahoo! Pipe and I’m impressed with how easy it was. My first pipe involves manipulating my Pownce feed with a few regex expressions to include the post link and the comment count in the description of the item. And most noticeably I’ve taken out the “DANCAMERON:” from the title.
The reasoning: I’m using feedwordpress to pull my pownce messages to create posts on this blog. This is so my RSS readers can go straight to a post with the ability to comment rather than force them to Pownce where they’d have to sign-up to comment. For my regular readers that don’t use RSS you can just go here.
If you check out my pipe know that I still have a lot of work left. I first want to make it work with the atom feed straight from pownce, I went the simple route and used the feed from feedburner since it was converted to RSS2 already. More important then that I want to get the link within my pownce messaged to show on the post (Pownce allows for “link” messages as well as standard messages) then I want to create a published app so anyone can use it.
Update:
I’ve gone ahead and published it and the new link is here. Now anyone can use it to sanitize the atom feed and I’ll be adding more later.
