I tried and played with Yahoo Pipes before but didn’t grasp the principle until today. It is absolutely awesome. Flexible, powerful, totally managable, this is the aggregation dream come true. It didn’t take very long before I had united all of my main RSS feeds into only one.

The Codie Pipe Feed includes: my Flickr, BlogHUD, Pownce, Twitter, Jaiku and of course, this same blog CodeBastardRedgrave.Com. All united in a single RSS stream goodness.

Imagine the implications for Secondlifers that are also Twitterers, Flickerites and especially Bloggers. We could do our own universal blogroll. Or our universal blogger’s Flickr stream. Or whatever combo we want to do. It’s tricky to setup at first if you don’t know what you are doing but they provide many nice examples. Also one thing i’m looking at is uniform Pownce, Twitter, Jaiku, etc… posting, i’m sure it’s possible to do so.

Anyways, enjoy! Here is the link to my universal RSS feed:

Here is my Yahoo Pipes dev page:

You will also probably notice that I killed the dead BlogHUD FeedBurner applet on this page, and replaced the Twitter one by the universal Pipes fed one. Yay!
