Yahoo’s amazing pipe dreams
In order to create the ’round up’ feed, the default open tab on Travel In Papers, we used Yahoo’s Pipes to mash-up the feed data from all the newspapers we selected. The feed for The Guardian’s travel section required extra work because it outputs two dummy articles, or navigational elements, which would have looked odd and become repetitive.
Using Pipes we managed to block these dummy articles from being displayed and we then limited the output for each feed to show only one article from one newspaper.
We borrowed this approach from the excellent Chipwrapper.
