My New Pipe - finding similar postings
So, I finished up my new Pipe a bit ago, once I figured out how to add sub-modules to the For Each module. It’s a more interesting Yahoo Pipe than just the technorati one - obviously, I guess, since it incorporates it. The pipe itself is pretty straight forward, it pulls a feed (my rss by default) and then deals with the first few posts (you can set how many).
Each post in that group gets run through content analysis (which tries to find the point of the post) and then it runs each of those through my technorati Pipe. A certain number of technorati search results (2 by default) are taken for each original post - so each of the posts in the original feed will result in a (default of) 2 related items. All these items are then sorted by their date and sent to you. To be honest, I’m not all that satisfied with the output of the content analysis module and sometimes get better results using the title of the posting directly, YMMV.
So, if your most recent posts were about wikia and lost, you’d end up with 4 results - 2 about each topic.
I plan to rewrite my php and javascript to be more general purpose so that you can specify a pipe url and put in arbitrary user input fields. Hopefully that’ll happen this weekend.

300 is a great movie full of visual effects and graphics which made it different and much better.
Acting was great, director did a wonderful job and chose great actors, full of action, and it is based on a true story.
