Mashing Multiple Feeds into One Feed Using Yahoo Pipes and FeedBurner

OK, so, why I found this was because I was looking for a way to make a feed from a Facebook Group on Praying for our pastor, and then figuring out how to post it to a Wordpress Blog (see the sidebar). (update: I took it off...had second thoughts about this because anyone can post whatever they want on the Facebook Wall...that might not be approrpiate to have on the website. I'll have to rethink this.)

Well, I figured it out...and, something else in the process.

I found a way to make one feed from multiple feeds, and it was a cool process. I used Yahoo Pipes, and I really liked the interface. You drag boxes around and connect the boxes with little "wires". It's really cool. I'm posting this YouTube video because it explains everything you need to know to do a basic mash-up (it's from techbays.com).



You can see the mash-up I did of my 4 blogs on the sidebar of this blog.

So, let's say you are running a blog about underwater basket weaving, and you daily read blogs about pool maintenance, basket weaving material supply warehouses, SCUBA gear gadgets, and eCommerce shopping cart building for crafty websites, and you think your viewers want to view this wonderful information themselves, well, you can mash-up all your favorite blogs, create a pipe, burn your new pipe using feedburner, and add the new feed into your blogs sidebar.

There you go...a reason to use this information.

Have fun.
