Yahoo Pipes (http://pipes.yahoo.com) allow for easy to do GUI custom built data transformation. Since they support feeds, any SM page can be turned into the data source. I haven't quite figured any bright example of what to do with it, but I like the idea...:wink

    That's a great idea - but not any SM page actually has a feed: try clicking on a keyword and you get a page for that keyword, including links for corresponding feeds. Then add a keyword, and you'll see the feeds disappear. Alas...

    I'm sure it's a glitch that can be worked around.
    I'm still curious what can be done with this stuff...headscratch.gif
