RSS is the new Black. Microformats are next.
By Nick Hodge | March 10, 2007
Taking a leaf from Munge Brother, Uncle Mike, RSS is the new black. Yes, I am a little slow in realising this fact.
With a multitude of sites where my stuff is stored: it's time to munge them all into one UberFeed. My main feed remains http://feeds.feedburner.com/NickHodgeMungenet
Using Feedjumbler, I've got a combined feed going into Feedburner. Now why doesn't Feedburner offer this service? Yes, it has Flickr and del.icio.us style connections. But what about blip.tv, soapbox and so on? Why not just list all your incoming feeds in one place and output them in a smart way?
So, I had to choose between learning Yahoo!Pipes, write my own munger or use FeedJumbler. Due to time factors, FeedJumbler won out today.
Munging microformats together, without being an XML weenie, is a potential use for Pipes; or at least getting somone who is a little Pipes savvy to make a widget for a site. My head spins just thinking about this (or is it the lack of caffiene?)
That said, the more I look at Yahoo!Pipes, the more I am intruiged by its metaphor, and the potential uses in wiring stuff together. My brain is so mangled (munged?) this Saturday I am putting off learning until my head is clear.
