Filter del.icio.us dailies from RSS feed using Yahoo pipes

Written June 5, 2007. Tagged RSS.

Among others, I subscribe to the RSS feeds for Filip's blog and my del.icio.us network.

Filip has his RSS feed set up to include daily summaries of his del.icio.us activity. But I already get that data through my network feed. I just want his regular blog posts.

So I created a Yahoo pipe that filters them out. It was insanely simple.

I generalized this into another pipe that takes any feed URL as input. So to create your own del.icio.us-less ("disagreeable"

delicious adj Definition: pleasing, especially to the taste Antonyms: disagreeable, distasteful, horrible, unpleasant, unsavory
?) feeds, that pipe is probably the easiest way. Or just clone the first pipe and modify it.
