Hello,

I hate to abuse comments this way, but I can't find another way to contact you on the blog.

I'm Willem Knibbe, an acquisitions editor at Wiley. I found your videos very well done and wonder if you might be interested in discussing authoring a book (potentially with a DVD component).

Please drop me a line: wknibbe@wiley.com.

Cheers,
Willem

Can you tell me if there is a way to set how much of a feed is displayed? I would like to display my Youtube videos through my pipe.

I am immensly greatful to google for having me stumble on here...
I had been reading on yahoo pipes for the past 48 hrs.. and just few min here actullay nullified my past 2 days of efforts... thanks...thanks

I have a few queries
1. I want to know how particularly is pipes useful in my blog..lets take the simple ex of the "keyboad" search.. how can i include this in my blog...would it be a widget,.. some template code.. etc

2. How is the viedio tutorial done (if this is some kind of trace secret.. i understand.. please excuse me)..
Reason i ask is.. sometimes. i am aksed to tutor 60+ people whose children are settled abroad on how to use the computer and internet

At that age.. they just cant remember the instructions.. and are too distraguht to take up the notebook and read - and-do- in step by step manner

This i think will be very useful
If you think its appropriate in sharing this.. do let me know
Thank you
Deepa

I just want to say you have rescued me from reading long technical instructions with your fantastic videos on how to use Yahoo Pipes.

Love the videos and will be using the ideas on my seminars.

Great tutorials but it seems my merged feed isn't that consistent. It displays some old news items before newer news feeds.

Did i do something wrong here?

Omar Cafini said...
