Christian blake download.yahoo.com/spaetzel/”> Here is a cool Yahoo Pipe that I just finished building. It loops trough all of your Twitter friends, loads up their blogs and then returns the latest items from their blog’s RSS feed.

    <p>
    Essentially this allows you to subscribe to all of your Twitter friend's blogs without
    actually adding all of their feeds to your reader. Just add the feed for this pipe: <a title="http://pipes.yahoo.com/spaetzel/twitterfriends" href="http://pipes.yahoo.com/spaetzel/twitterfriends">http://pipes.yahoo.com/spaetzel/twitterfriends</a>
    </p>
    <p>
    It does take a long time to run the first time, but the results are very useful.

    I have been spending a lot of time playing with Yahoo Pipes, you can see some more
    pipes that I have created here: <a title="http://pipes.yahoo.com/spaetzel/" href="http://pipes.yahoo.com/spaetzel/">http://pipes.yahoo.com/spaetzel/</a>.
    I'll blog about more of them soon.
