Yahoo Pipes

I admit, at first Yahoo Pipes seemed interesting.  But it also seemed useless.

However, I've put together 3 pipes of my own, and I like the process.

Yahoo Pipes allows you (or me) to manipulate RSS feed results.  So far, I've only used it to troubleshoot.  That it, I use it to fix things I don't like about my current feeds.

Here they are.  Feel free to use these pipes for yourself.  You can also change them to suit your purpose, though you'll need a YahooID.

This one filters Fark results.  I now get nothing about Florida, photoshop contests, etc.

This one filters my Reuters News results.  Reuters was sending me 5 or 6 copies of every feed item.  This stops that problem.

This does the same "remove duplicates" for Toronto Raptors News.
