Anyone using it to do anything? Wondering how soon until you hit a brick wall with it. With these visual interfaces you always get stuck somewhere because of the limitations.

Interestingly I was just reading about this today, craigslist blocked yahoo pipes for a week or something.

We've used it for a few years for aggregating blogs etc at UQ for marking, works pretty well. I've used it occasionally for quick RSS visualisations on websites, cause you can just hook stuff together and it will give you code for whatever language to get the aggregation.

I wonder if Mr. Murdoch has blocked it :-P

How I came across it was through here: http://www.christeso.com/blog/index.php/lab/google-docs-yahoo-pipes-cms/

Yeah but it means going to bloody qgl.org - too much effort in this case. Was just playing with Google Docs embeds seeing if there was a nice option for embedding web form results (as a survey and display method)

The answer is that there still isn't. You can't embed the 'summary of responses' - although you can embed and automatically republish the actual spreadsheet of results, which is half-way there.

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous too because the URL to delete a post is:

http://network.ausgamers.com/index.php?action=loaditem&itemid=2828115&forward=edititem&delete=yes&closewindow=yes&thisview=890

You'd just add a button already wouldn't ya? But what would I know, I'm only a bloke that associates himself with the colour pink.

I've got a nice red X I can use. It's easy as, I just click it and BAM! the post is gone.
Are you saying that the site that associates itself with Greens HAS NO DELETE BUTTON??
Wow I bet your Green with envy. amirite??? I think I'm right and/or rite. Hah IN YOUR GREEN NON DELETABLE FACE!
No offence btw, I love the area that associates itself with the colour Pink and also the singer that associates herself with the colour Pink.
