Building a Pipe
To find out exactly how it works and if it was really as easy as advertised, I decided to build my own Pipe. Since I'm the networking editor at Computerworld.com, I built a Pipe that collects networking news from various sources and combines them into one feed. Here's how I went about it.
Clicking on "Create A New Pipe" brings up the editor, with a list of available modules on the left and the editing area on the right, sporting the helpful directions to "drag modules here."

The modules are arranged in these categories:
- Sources
- User inputs
- Operators
- URL
- String
- Date
- My Pipes
I choose the Fetch module from Sources and drag it into the editing area. There I enter Computerworld's Networking RSS feed URL (http://feeds.computerworld.com/Computerworld/
Networking/News) into the text input field and click a + button to open up two more fields. I enter the URLs for feeds from Network World and InfoWorld into those fields.

To test if everything is working so far, I simply click on the Fetch module and its input is displayed in a Debugger field at the bottom of the editor. The Debugger shows that headlines are indeed being generated by the Fetch module.
I click on a round button on the bottom of the Fetch module and drag the flexible Pipe that is instantly generated down to the Pipe Output module and I have a working Pipe, combining RSS feeds from three publications.
