Blog, Magnolia, Facebook – Pipes ties it all together

by marcus on August 9th, 2007

I publish various things on the web. I write in this blog, I publish photos to my photo blog and I save snippets of interesting articles using Magnolia. If you come to my mkaz.com home page you can see all three of these things going on. You can even subscribe to one or all of them via RSS.

However, people are less likely to do either; visit my site or subscribe to RSS. The best way I can surface this content to my friends is via my Facebook profile. The Facebook news feed is a wonderful information delivery mechanism. Fortunately, Facebook allows you to import an RSS feed into your notes. Unfortunately, they only allow the importing of a single RSS feed.

Enter Yahoo Pipes. I wrote about them previously here and here. Using Yahoo Pipes, I can combine my three RSS feeds my blog feed, my photo blog feed and my Magnolia saved bookmarks feed into a single RSS feed, which I call “mkaz combined”

I then setup Facebook to import this combined feed and they all show up in my profile feed as imported notes.

What I love about this system is: (1) it uses open protocols and open systems. My blog and photo blog are published using Feedburner, so no additional load even hits my server. (2) It ties together the three power houses of the current internet: Google (Feedburner), Yahoo and Facebook, all working together.

You can subscribe to my combined feed here.
