Yahoo! Pipes
Okay - I have to admit, I had no clue what the heck Yahoo! Pipes were all about. I read about them in the beginning and was lost, but thanks to Mashing Up Multiple Web Feeds Using Yahoo! Pipes, an article By Jody Condit Fagan in the recent issue of Computers in Libraries, I get it!
I started playing this morning. I created a mashup of all of the feeds we have at the library

It was so easy once I figured out where things were - which might have been even easier if I had just read the instructions

=Will have to read that article. I too was lost when I first looked at Yahoo Pipes, and haven’t had time to get back to it. Like you said, reading the instructions helps!

Right there with you. I tried to read the directions and play with it, but was “um, what?” I thought it was just me - and maybe we were easily discouraged because normally web tools come easy to us?

I’ve been using Pipes to mash-up table of contents feeds in different subjects.
I think this link will work:
