Too much Security talky-talky! Now we have PIPES!

Upon pondering what to do with the 40+ blogs and countless RSS feeds I look at just while I have my morning coffee here walks in Yahoo Pipes!

Yahoo! Pipes is one of a very small set of completely amazing on-line data manipulation and data mashup environments that can really change the way we work with on-line data sources. (The others are DabbleDB and Dapper.)

Pipes is a hosted service that lets you remix feeds and create new data mashups in a visual programming environment. The name of the service pays tribute to Unix pipes, which let programmers do astonishingly clever things by making it easy to chain simple utilities together on the command line.

So, with this much needed data, I took the SecurityTwits blog list and added all the accessible feeds to aSecurity Bloggers Pipe. Now I can drink my latte and see who all is re-blogging who in peace!

My new goal is to find all the SecTwit Commentator blogs, and just read the Cliff’s notes of what’s actually happening. This seems like a large time saver from reading the actual blogs of the people who then debate the issues, and eventually have a portion of the content regurgitated onto these commentary blogs………  and now I just blogged about the blogs about twits and blogs…
