Building an RSS mashup with Yahoo! Pipes

Now that you've assembled your feeds in the 'Fetch' module, Pipes makes it easy to test and build your mashup. In the menu to the left of the canvas, clicking on the word 'Operators' pulls down a list of modules you'll use to build the mashup.

But first of all, look at the bottom of the canvas and you'll see a gray area labeled 'debugger'. That's where you test your modules. Click on the word 'Refresh' and it'll test the output from whichever module is highlighted in orange. In this case, that's the 'Fetch' module, and as you can see, it works just fine.

This would be a good point to see if you can get someone in the office to ask you what you're doing. Then you can casually reply, "Oh, nothing. I'm just debugging a new software program I've written."
