Q&A from the session itself!

Q: How to track usage of your RSS feeds / XML file when you are using them with Yahoo! Pipes?

A: I'm not a total expert on this, but if you are actually serving up a file, such as an xml file, you can track the number of hits using you server logs, and they will tell you which hits came from Yahoo Pipes (pipes.yahoo.com).

Q: Someone asked how to mashup Google Maps and Yahoo! Pipes!

A: Google Mashup Editor and Yahoo! Pipes: Friend, not Foe

Q: Someone had the great idea of using Google Maps and Yahoo Pipes to take an Excel of, say, conference attendees, and them map their home locations so you can see on a map where they all came from!

 

Below I am posting a summary of links that I will be referring to during the presentation:
