Thanks in advance for any kind of help.
Yahoo! Pipes creates new pages by aggregating RSS feeds from different sources. Simple commands (sorting, counting, truncating) can be combined together to create output that meets your requirements.
This is how Pipes work
-Drag and drop editor lets you view and construct your pipeline
-You can fetch any data source via its RSS, Atom or other XML feed
-Extract the data you want, combine it with data from another source
-Apply various built-in filters as well as user-defined filters and much more...
Here's how you can create your own pipe with Yahoo

Here's Matt Cutts review about Yahoo Pipes

Yahoo pipes is one of the powerful and robust areas one can use for SEO. It is a tool that can fulfill the dreams of many web users, and has transformed the read and write web by allowing the user to modify the syndication sources.
"Pipes is a powerful composition tool to aggregate, manipulate, and mashup content from around the web." In plain language, you fetch information, add filters and produce specific content you desire.
The general scope of "Yahoo Pipes" is the ability to combine RSS/feeds (or mash them together), and then manipulate the data in a way that's useful for you or your website(s). It's basically an RSS masher & re-hasher. The "pipes" name comes from the Unix pipes that let you combine commands (foreign to this writer).
