How to Build Your Own Lifestream with Yahoo Pipes and NO Server Side Logic

Posted by Cristiano Betta

Step 3: Combine the Sources

So, now that we have set up this rather complex LifestreamItem module we can do something very simple and use this module a couple of times in a different pipe and mashup all our data in one. In my case you can see the result here.

As you can see I loaded a couple of different sources including my Twitter, Flickr, and Upcoming, just by adding new LifestreamItem modules for all of them and giving them the correct RSS/Atom feeds as source. I quickly noticed that some streams were off by an hour or sometimes more, which is why I made the little LifestreamItem modules take a delay parameter to adjust.

Pipe Debug

If you want to check if your data is in the right order, just select the bottom “output” module and take a look at de debug output. The debug output gives you a quick look of what your output will look like.
