With the hubbub now settling down down I decided to go back and try out Yahoo! Pipes. For a while, I've wanted a feed for articles by Chris Kelly over on Huffington Post so I decided to build that.  After a couple of false starts I created the feed which currently doesn't have any items because there aren't any posts by Chris Kelly in the Huffington Post feed.

Now that I've actually used the service I'm pretty surprised that anyone thinks that this is a service that non-geeks will use. Programming with flowcharts to process RSS feeds seems even geekier than having a Star Trek wedding which was my previous bar for geekiest thing ever.
