Filter an RSS feed for title and first paragraph in Yahoo Pipes
I’ve found and perfected (and it’s still not quite there yet) a Yahoo Pipe that takes in longer feed items and spits out versions containing only the title and the first paragraph. I usually hate this from my feeds (the New York Times, for instance), but some sites update so frequently and contain information that’s so time-sensitive I’d hate to pass them through a service like aideRSS.
Feel free to clone my Pipe and input the RSS feed of your choice. If it’s not working correctly, look at how the feed’s code is structured. You’ll need to cut it right after whatever code lets the machine know the first paragraph is finished and it’s time to skip a line and go to the next paragraph.
