My Global weather activity pipe was not feeding through very much RSS to my site, which is maybe because the filter requirements were not the relevant or topical. I therefore removed this from my site and created another pipe, which this time feeds through information about the Earthquake which has struck China. This is a recent news story and therefore may provide me with more breaking news, although for some reason, it’s saying that its not working at the moment. I’ve done everything the same as before so it must be a problem at their end.

I am really getting the hang of Yahoo pipes now. In order to test my knowledge I have tried to create a pipe to feed in latest stories about a particular current news story. I therefore decided to create a pipe which feeds in the latest info on the Burma Cyclone tragedy. I created another pipe which filters out stories about the natural disaster only, and sends them through to my site as an RSS feed. Here is a screen shot of my new pipe working:

This will allow me to keep up to date with this one particluar story and filter out all other unwanted news reports. Not bad eh!

I’m now starting to understand why RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication…

I thought I embed this online video on how to create a Yahoo Pipe in my blog for people to look at if they are having problems as it was quite useful:
