It’s been a few months since we launched Pipes badges. We’ve seen them all over the web and just wanted to point out a few. Sites that use Pipes badges really have ranged the gamut from a map/photo mashup at Calistoga Inn’s web site to powering Blondies home page.
- http://www.builderstudiovt.com – nice use of the Pipes photo badge.
- http://www.blondie.net/under_construction.shtml – powering Blondies blog aggregation and news.
- http://www.kingmanbicycleoutfitters.com – nice, simple cycling news aggregation feed.
- http://www.cakephp.org/planet – helping power CakePHP’s super feed.
- http://www.sofobomo.org/blogs.php – this site dedicates a single page to a Pipes badge.
- http://www.calistogainn.com/directions.html – Calistoga Inn has a Pipe map badge that plots photos and places of interest on a map near their Inn.
- http://nassauwalks.org/ – really nice Pipe map badge of future places this group will meet and walk. The badge purposely loads last so that page can render so the user can read and use the site immediately.
- http://nd.water.usgs.gov/ – even the government uses a Pipe badge!
A special thanks to John Herren for an awesome post on our newly added support for serialized php output. In his post he shows how to use Pipes serialized php output and even gives benchmarks on decoding serialized php vs json.
Corvida over at ReadWriteWeb.com just recently posted an excellent compilation of useful Pipes. She broke it down into three categories – Social Submission and Aggregation Yahoo Pipes, Pricing Alert Yahoo Pipes – Catch That Deal! and Media Yahoo Pipes.
Xefer is a really cool mashup that uses Yahoo! Pipes to get twitter data and uses Googles chart to display it. Also check out Summize to see what people are saying about Yahoo! Pipes on Twitter.
