It got my wheels spinning. It's the graphical environment that folks like KnowNow should have used to build a developer community around their feed server. I've been a sucker for GUIs since 1984.

MrSpeak3r's Union tip is going to help us change everything on our feeder. THANKS BIG TIME!

Again, great tutorial. Can you make one for <a href="http://developer.apple.com/graphicsimaging/quartz/quartzcomposer.html" rel="nofollow">Quartz Composer</a> now? =P "Now how do i publish it on my site? Havent got that far yet…" If you go to your main pipes page, you can "run" your pipe (don't know why you can't run from the pipe page, maybe in the future). If you run your pipe (this is covered in the tutorial) the resulting page will have an RSS and JSON link at the bottom. There's a couple places you can go from here (hopefully there will be a way to generate a widget/webbadge of a pipe in the future), but you might look at the JSON bit (http://www.json.org/js.html) which would allow you to parse the JSON feed in javascript on your page, and write it out however you want. I'm still trying to figure that out myself, but I've seen tons of pages on it on the various javascript resource sites.

I've never tried working with rss feeds, so I'm not 100% sure the best way to do it - I reckon it'd be pretty easy though - I'm sure there are tutorial out there already. The only way I've used the results so far is in <a href="http://mrspeaker.webeisteddfod.com/2007/02/11/flickrlastfm-mashup/" rel="nofollow">this greasemonkey script</a> - I use the JSON output from the Pipe to do groovy stuff client side.

I've just put up a working Web badge to return <a href="http://kentbrewster.com/technorati-search-via-yahoo-pipes" rel="nofollow">Technorati search results</a> via Pipes; source is online and should be fairly easy to implement and understand.
