Rewiring your URLs
| Wednesday, November 7th, 2007 | --Sean |
Hi! My name is Sean, but you can call me I_m2V2cgpWzYei2qolbcGw--. That's my unique Yahoo! Pipes identifier from my old Pipes URL of http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/person.info?eyuid=I_m2V2cgpWzYei2qolbcGw--. I mean, there's an address that really gives you a sense of ownership over your page. :D
So, for those rare people out there who have trouble committing random 24-character strings to memory, Pipes has introduced simplified, personalized URLs for your user page and for your particular pipes. You can stake your claim to just about any URL name for yourself that hasn't been taken already (so hurry up!) to define your top level directory, giving you an entirely new namespace in which to go crazy with informative and memorable URLs for your pipes. For instance, now you can find me at http://pipes.yahoo.com/smock514 and you can try out one of my very few pipes (I'm a passive user) at http://pipes.yahoo.com/smock514/blog_search_aggregator. It's that easy!
