Since 2007, Yahoo Pipes has been a convenient way to bring web content together. Based on the pipes concept from Unix-style command lines, Yahoo Pipes lets you create custom RSS feeds from multiple websites. On August 30, Yahoo will no longer accept the creation of new Pipes, and a month later the service will stop working entirely. Anyone who uses Pipes will have until September 30, 2015, to get their data out. http://www.macworld.com/article/2932043/yahoo-axes-maps-pipes-other-services-as-it-narrows-focus.html

Yahoo Maps is also shutting down ...

I use pipes a lot. How annoying. Time to start the hunt for an alternative I guess...

Thanks for the heads up, Niraj! Now I gotta find an alternative to use in my app - and update the app too (been too long) :-) Cheers

Technology must evolve or retire ...

https://github.com/cantino/huginn is 'supposedly' a self hosted configurable pipes alternative. Cheers! -- Smug

Good link Smug, crappy news.

Thanks Smug! I was just thinking to meself: "Wouldn't it be nice to have a self-hosted solution, me boy!" If this works then I'll add it to me self-hosted URL shortner tool (YOURLS). Aye, 'twill be nice! Arrrgh! :-)

Wow, nice find Smug! Over 9400 stars on the Huginn project. And very few issues. Looks to be actively developed. Whoever tries it first, let us know your results with Huginn. -- Niraj

Thats bad news :( Thanks for the info. I do have one app powered with pipes. Solutions.. solutions. If I find an alternative I'll post it here.
