Made a Pipe

To overcome the deficiencies of the RSS gadget in ning, I created Yahoo! Pipe to take the twitter feed, the delicious bookmarks and this blog. I tried to include the RSS feed for the Blackboard module blog but it wouldn't work! The resulting combined feed stream was sent to a new RSS feed which you can access directly through a link. I then updated RSS feed reader gadget on the home page to display the new RSS feed.

The same effect is possible using Google Reader feed bundles, but the default output is an OPML file rather than an RSS feed. Nevertheless, here is the equivalent as a Google Reader feed bundle. Stop Press: I just noticed that the viewable page has an Atom feed, so you can subscribe to a feed bundle!
