Pipe Dreams

I've been playing around with Yahoo! Pipes for a couple of days now. I've made my first pipe which combines my blog here, my Flickr account, and my Youtube account. I also have a filter set up to exclude vacation photos I took for a review I wrote for Trip Advisor. The pipe looks great when I import the RSS feed into Facebook. I am using it for my notes, so when ever I update something on one of these sites it is automatically added to Facebook. Google Reader, however, doesn't filter out the pictures. Also my Youtube videos don't show up in a videoplayer, so you can't watch the video through the feed.

My goal is to have one central website where all of my sites (Blogger, Youtube, Flickr, etc.) are mashed together. I have been trying to get it to work here on Blogger, but with little success. I don't think it is possible to import content as posts from a RSS feed on Blogger. Wordpress on the other hand will, according to the Wordpress website.

If you are interested in learning more about Yahoo! Pipes, here is the link to a couple of great video tutorials that will get you up and running in no time. Or check out Lifehacker for a tutorial on how to create your own masterfeed like I did.
