Pipes: Make your own Module? http://crschmidt.net/blog/archives/194/yahoo-pipes-make-your-own-module/ Ramblings of a GIS Hacker Sun, 12 Feb 2012 23:38:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Mikel http://crschmidt.net/blog/archives/194/yahoo-pipes-make-your-own-module/comment-page-1/#comment-10928 Mikel Sun, 11 Feb 2007 09:13:28 +0000 http://crschmidt.net/blog/archives/194/yahoo-pipes-make-your-own-module/#comment-10928 But maybe you don't get it .. cause it's about chaining together many sources and services, not just duplicating a single service. Seems like the Geonames RSS2GeoRSS service gets a lot of use, so maybe that's why yours didn't get any pickup.

If I can output GeoRSS from a different location, why would I use Yahoo! Pipes? No one used the RSS to GeoRSS service we used to offer, so I don't have any reason to think that would change now if we offered it again. Of course, anyone who disagrees can build their own: the <a href="http://developers.metacarta.com/?method=GeoTagger" rel="nofollow">API is available</a>. Which defeats the whole purpose of Pipes.
