Yahoo Pipes Tutorial - How To Mashup Flickr With Your Blog Using. In this tutorial, we will use Yahoo Pipes to build a mashup between your blog (or any blog with an RSS feed) and Flickr. Yahoo Pipes is a great tool for creating simple mashups, and it is easy enough to use that even those without any programming experience can start building mashups. To combine your blog with Flickr, we will first tell Yahoo Pipes to read your RSS feed.
Once we have done this, we will tell Pipes to extract out the keywords of each article and use the first keyword to grab a picture from Flickr. To get started, you will need to navigate to the Yahoo Pipes website at login to your Yahoo account (if you are not already logged in), and then click on the Create a Pipe link at the top of the screen. You should then be taken to the development screen pictured above. The Big List Of Search Engines & Their Employees On Twitters. Yesterday, Google joined Twitter with a company account. We twittered a few search engine-related addresses as part of our post about that, but we wanted to do one that was a little more organized. So welcome to our big search engine Twitter list!

Yahoo Glue: It’s Like Last Year’s Ask.com (and That’s Good!) | T. Last month, I groused about the fact that Ask.com had rolled out a redesign that did away with its clever melding of Web search results, images, news, video, and more on one page. Today, after a trial run in India, Yahoo rolled out a new service called Yahoo Glue. And I’m pleased to report that it’s an awful lot like the Ask.com I missed. Do a search, and you get a page with filled with modules dedicated to news, images, YouTube videos, Yahoo Answers, Google (sic!) Blog Search, Wikipedia data, and more. The results you get are based in part on the sort of topic you searched for: For instance, when I searched for “Paris,” content from Lonely Planet and Panoramio images of the city were near the top. Can I pick a few nits, though? –Oddly enough, the one thing that Glue doesn’t include are plain ol’ Web search results, from Yahoo or anybody else.
