Made-to-order content with Yahoo Pipes

Combine and rework content feeds to suit your taste

Jeff K. Wilson (wilsonje@us.ibm.com), e-business architect, IBM

Jeff K. Wilson is an architect and consultant for IBM. For the most part, he likes computers. He talks a lot about them; stuff people put on them. He uses them quite a bit. Typically, black ones for some reason. He never did much care for the dirty-looking, almondy-colored ones. He types on them; plugs all sorts of things into them. He even has a bag for it in a special place in the hallway where he dumps it every night. The drink coaster-like rings on the top of his laptop are not a sign of disrespect, but rather companionship.

Summary: Explore the steps and benefits of using a content feed filtering utility like Yahoo Pipes to better capture, merge, and alter specific data from available streams. This tutorial outlines some techniques to approach feed transformations, and includes three demonstrations featuring key areas of the environment.
