Link Details

A comment from “Dmitryx” on DZone about how DZone could provide better options for filtering its “Popular Links” got me thinking about how Yahoo! Pipes (my new favourite toy) could be used to filter DZone RSS feeds in interesting ways. Helpfully, DZone provides a lot of information in its RSS feeds including the number of votes for and against, the click count, the number of comments, the username of the submitter, the URL of a thumbnail image, a list of tags and more. So if you want to go down the Pipes route, there are a lot of possibilities.
