Yahoo Pipes-filtering
Pipe Web Address:
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=6b629b8fcd6f37e68183f36d721f22e0
Explanation:
The pipe I created allows for users to access the website www.espn.com without reading through articles of sports they don't like. Particularly, I blocked football, baseball, and golf articles from appearing on the site. It made it easier for me to access this particular page without skipping over articles I don't like. This can save a lot of time when needing to filter bigger articles or websites on the web.
I did this by entering the URL (espn.go.com) in the find first site feed, under sources. Then I connected that to the operation, filter, which allowed me to block any articles containing any descriptions of football, baseball, or golf. I then connected that to the Pipe output and refreshed the page to received 14 articles left on the site for me to read without going through the ones I didn't find interest in.
