it’s PubSubHubbub, via Webkompetenz:
If you’re subscribed to the feed of this blog you know (and probably like) the delicious bookmarks that get spliced into the feedburner feed, enhancing the regular wp-rss feed that WordPress generates.
The problem is that I am splicing these bookmarks also into the feed of my other (main, professional) blog – which leads to duplicates in Google Buzz, Friendfeed and other aggregation places. And while I do prepare a clean feed of this blog via Yahoo! Pipes, I have found no way to include this into Buzz so far.
What to do? Leave it as it is – and trust into the redundancy filtering capabilities of them aggregation services? Or worse, into the pain endurance of information-overloaded social web contacts?

[...]
We have had mashups for a while now, [...]
Pipes take things much further.
This isn’t user-generated content, it’s user-controlled content. And unlike personalised pages or simple feed subscriptions it really does put control into the hands of the user.
Pipes mark the point at which remixing online content and creating mashups becomes something that anyone can do. If you can describe what you want then you can build it.
It is also, of course, a collaborative environment, at least for now. You can take someone else’s pipe and “clone” it to make your own, with no hint that there could be copyright or intellectual property issues here.
