I’m guessing ’specificity’ is a word you don’t often hear, but it’sa word very much linked to Yahoo!我猜測， '特異性'是一個Word你不經常聽到，但它是Word中非常聯繫到Yahoo ！ Pipes.水管。 Now ‘versatile’ is a word you’re more likely to associate with Yahoo!現在變成了'多才多藝'是一個Word您更容易聯想到與Yahoo ！ Pipes, which is obvious, really.管道，這是顯而易見的，真的。 Hopefully, by the time you’ve finished reading this article, ‘indispensable’ will be another word to associate with this adaptable feed aggregation tool.希望由時間您完成讀此文章， '必不可少'將是另一個詞聯想到與此適應力強的飼料聚集的工具。

Yahoo! 雅虎！ Pipes explained 喉管解釋

By way of some background, let’s start with a brief explanation of what Yahoo!透過一些背景，讓我們先解釋一下什麼樣的雅虎！ Pipes is all about.管道是一回事。 Put simply,簡言之， Yahoo!雅虎！ Pipes let’s you pull together different feed sources管道讓您集合不同的飼料來源 (more commonly known as RSS) and turn them into just the one feed. （一般稱為的RSS ） ，使他們成為只是一飼料。

However — and here’s where the specificity kicks in — you can apply filters to those feeds.不過-這裡的情況下，特異性踢在-您可以使用過濾器，這些飼料。 So for example, you can filter a feed based on date, words or phrases, perform actual searches within feed sources, limit, sort order, loop, truncate ..因此，舉例來說，您可以過濾飼料的基礎上的日期，字詞或詞組，實際執行搜索飼料來源，限制，排序順序，循環，截斷.. you get the idea, right?你的想法，對不對？

Another word to throw casually into the mix would ‘intimidating’, because Yahoo!另一個Word來扔，隨便到混合會'恐嚇' ，因為雅虎！ Pipes is a formidable beast when first used.管道是一項艱鉅的野獸時，首次使用了。 There are some spectacularly complex Pipes in there, which do some bizarre stuff.也有一些特別的複雜，管道在那裡，做一些奇怪的東西。 But for the purposes of this article, we’re going to look at creating a simple Workstream, or maybe a Lifestream, but that depends on how you feel.但對於本文的目的，我們要去看看建立一個簡單的workstream ，或也許lifestream ，但是這取決於你的感受。

Making use of Yahoo! 利用雅虎！ Pipes 喉管

For my main ‘blog feed, I have my own ‘blog articles (naturally) as well as my del.icio.us bookmarks.我的主要'博客供稿，我有我自己的博客文章（自然） ，以及我的del.icio.us書籤。 The reason being that my bookmarks act as pointers towards the topics I’m likely to be covering in the coming days and weeks.原因在於我的書籤作為指針，對話題，我可能會被涵蓋在今後幾天和幾個星期。 Also, those bookmarks can acts as research notes to the articles I’ve already written.此外，這些書籤可以作為研究債券的文章我已經寫。

But I have another feed, which is my但我有另一種飼料，這是我的 Lifestream lifestream . 。 This feed includes my ‘blog articles, my del.icio.us bookmarks, the songs I’ve recently listened to via Last.fm and my Twitter and Jaiku feeds.這飼料包括我的博客文章，我的del.icio.us書籤，歌曲，我最近聽取了經last.fm和我的twitter和jaiku供稿。

This is a pretty simple feed, but it’s an effective one.這是一個相當簡單飼料，但它的一個有效的1 。 However, for those with sharper eyes, and those more familiar with Jaiku, you’ll have noticed that my Yahoo!不過，對於與銳利的眼睛，和那些更熟悉jaiku ，您會看到我的Yahoo ！ Pipes contraption accomplishes little more than what I have already with Jaiku.管道contraption完成多一點什麼，我已與jaiku 。 While that’s true, Yahoo!雖然這是真的，雅虎 Pipes is much more versatile — good word , eh?管道更為靈活的-良好的一句話，嗯？

What can you use Yahoo! 你如何能使用Yahoo ！ Pipes for? 管？

So you have friends and colleagues scattered hither & yonder, far & wide.因此，你有朋友和同事分散hither ＆ yonder ，遠及寬。 You want these people to see your stuff and maybe even see where you are and when.您想要這些人看到您的東西，甚至還可以見你身在何處及何時。 And if you’re using a web service that makes use of如果您使用Web服務，可讓使用者使用 geotagging標記 , such as Jaiku, then you’ve got the where covered. ，如jaiku ，那麼您得到的地方包括在內。 The when is typically part & parcel of any feed these days.該時，通常是不可或缺的一部分，與任何飼料，這些天。

An example I once gave, hinting at一個例子，有一次我了，暗示 the power of geotagging and micro-blogging權力的標記和微型博客 combined was with Twitter in mind:聯合是與twitter在銘記：

“I recently added my mobile/cellphone number to Twitter so I could post updates while out & about. “我最近說，我的移動/手機號碼twitter ，所以我可以郵政更新的同時，指出＆約。 So now I can post from anywhere.所以現在我可以從任何地方張貼。 Now imagine you’re planning something really social, the face-to-face, old-fashioned variety social gathering.現在想像您規劃一些真正的社會，面對面，老式的各種社交聚會。 So you’re out somewhere, you spot the right venue, you’ve got your stuff, you’re ready to roll, now all you need is an audience.使您出門在外的某處，你看到合適的場地，您有您的東西，您準備好要推出，現在您所需要的是觀眾。

You’ve got your Twitter account, you’ve got hundreds if not thousands of friends.您有您的twitter帳戶，您有數以百計如果不是數以千計的朋友。 You whip out your mobile phone, you tap out a text message and wait for the people to emerge from anywhere & everywhere and you’re off to flyin’ start!”你鞭出您的移動電話，你踏了一個短信，等待人民的出現，從任何地方與世界各地和您起飛flyin '開始“ ！

So if you’re in a rock band, or a popular speaker (both used to traveling and working the stage), then being able to reach out to your audience is not just an ancillary benefit, but a huge differentiator, too.所以，如果您在一個搖滾樂隊，或流行的發言者（包括用於旅行和工作的階段） ，然後可以接觸到您的觀眾不只是一個附帶好處，而是一個巨大的微分，太。 Being mobile no longer means being out of reach.正在移動不再意味著走出達成。

Let’s face it, it’s not like Yahoo!讓我們面對它，它不是像AOL和Yahoo ！ Pipes is this one-trick affair, especially when管這是一個把戲，內政，尤其是當 scientists are using Yahoo!科學家們正在使用Yahoo ！ Pipes喉管 these days.這些天來。 If those guys can, anyone can!如果那些傢伙可以，任何人都可以！

Creating a Lifestream with Yahoo! 創造一個lifestream與Yahoo ！ Pipes 喉管
