“Pants on Everything” – Ready for Business
When we last discussed Yahoo! Pipes, I mentioned Pants on Everything, a merged feed of my posts from WordPress.com, Flickr, last.fm, and Twitter. The sort-by-pubDate bug was fixed sometime last night, so PoE is ready for public consumption (3/6/07: this feed is no longer in service).
Update: It looks like WordPress items are not getting their full content. A quick look around shows that Pipes is not publishing <content:encoded> in the pipe output; odd, since <content:encoded> shows up as expected in the Pipes UI. Hopefully this is just a bug and not intended behavior.
Update 2: A member of the Pipes team was kind enough to leave a comment.
Update 3: Lifehacker has posted a tutorial on creating a merged feed using Yahoo Pipes. Their experience was mostly similar to mine. If you’re interested in doing something like this, check it out.
Hi Greg, that is definitely bug! We love WordPress and that bug affects our personal feeds as well. Give us a little time to fix it and we’ll have you up and running.
