Before my workshop I'm looking at how Yahoo Pipes works. Is there anyone at MW 07 who has used this interesting new setup?
In the RSS workshop (wednesday pm, 1.30 to 5pm) I'm keen to show Pipes (http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/) in action, and I've been putting together a demonstrator US museums Pipes feed.
Pipes looks like a useful way to put together mixed RSS feeds from many sources. It's a bit like Feedburner in the sense that it exports the responsibility for feed admin and evaluation away from the publisher, towards a remote host.
That might be a good thing, and then again, with digital preservation and/or reliability in mind, it might not.
All Yahoo Pipes ideas/prejuidices/intuitive thoughts welcome - thanks!

Making it easier to share feeds?
I haven't look at this. But does this make it easier to share your own feeds on other sites (and vice versa) by providing a simple interface through which someone can aggregate one or more feeds?
