Pipe Feeds - a website for showcasing my Yahoo Pipes
I’ve created a website, Pipe Feeds, to publicize my Yahoo Pipes. I will publish the Yahoo pipes created for my personal use on this website. Most of my pipes attempt to simplify the way you use the internet - from surfing to subscription. My objective of creating Pipes is that,
if you like a content from a particular section of a website, let the content come to you next time without you having to visit the website again. Widgetizing and embedding are some other benefits from Yahoo Pipes. This diagram depicts it more clearly.

To start with, I’ve published pipes for Cricket Quotes (from cricinfo), ThiruKural Widget and History of Tamil Cinema (from DinaThanthi).
The pipes Cartoons from Indian dailies, Cartoons from Tamil dailies and Adade Cartoons feed which were created in the past and later graduated to auto publishing sites are also listed.
The site is hosted on blogger. Each post will represent a pipe and has various links for embedding, gadget creation, feed subscription and Pipes source.

Karthik! Really great!
Continue the good work!
Is the Cinema serial feed on Dinathanthi working?
Couldn’t see the posts!
Great work, again!
And hosting the blog in wordpress, why done the feed post in blogspot?
Ravi should be a angry, I think :-)!

And when clicked the orange icon (in the firefox URL) it shows - http://feeds.feedburner.com/yemkay/PipeFeeds - See the word Yemkay - Unnecessary one causing an error & corrupts the URL - The URL should be http://feeds.feedburner.com/PipeFeeds, right?

Venkat,
//Is the Cinema serial feed on Dinathanthi working?
Yes, it works, but when you run the pipe you will see just the live data. As the thiraipada varalaaru article doesn’t come on weekends, the pipe is returning no results today. Why worry.. just subscribe to the feed and get notified by your feed reader.
//And hosting the blog in wordpress, why done the feed post in blogspot?
Hosting in blogger has few advantages like placing javascript code inside post content, posting by email and most importantly changing the domain name. Infact I started with wordpress and later switched to blogger.
Fixed the feed URL. Thanks for pointing out.

Just a thought!

Venkat,
Which section of SRamakrishnan.com would you like to convert into a feed? I feel, reading this website is pretty straight forward. But I can create one pipe, if you badly need it
