Not only does my coffee break contain piping hot coffee this morning, it also contains some hot piping.
I’ve recently been dragged into Facebook, after very dull forays into Live Spaces, MySpace and Virb. Facebook seems to work for me as a social networking site – finally! Some of my friends are on it, and all my colleagues.
Facebook has a feature to import a single, solitary, lonely feed. I’m afraid that’s not exactly going to work for me.
I use Twitter, and recently Jaiku. Of course I have a Flickr account, I bookmark to del.icio.us and I have a couple of personal blogs and some podcasts.
How do I combine all of that into one amalgamated stream, a lifestream?
Enter Yahoo! Pipes. I’ve know about it for a while, but I’ve never had a use for it. Until I realised my previously unknown need to combine all these disparate feeds.
I take the pipe’s output, chase it through Feedburner and import it into Facebook.
This article on the always-amazing Lifehacker showed me how to do it. Before my piping hot coffee was at a drinkable temperature, my hot pipe was ready.
Here’s my new lifestream pipe, here’s my Feedburner feed, and look at my notes on Facebook.
