I'd Rather Be Writing has a long post about Yahoo Pipes, a new service from Yahoo that lets you "blend, manipulate, and combine feeds from various data sources to create a streamlined, single feed of information. Essentially Yahoo Pipes allows you to create feed mashups of different data sources without having a knowledge of programming." As the article points out, you could easily create a feed that scans several online services for the keywords "technical writing" and builds a new RSS feed for you. This is very slick stuff, and could be useful for anyone who has to search across disparate web services.
