Please suggest alternate. You built a good thing. RSS overall is becoming history.

IFTTT and Zapier are spiritual successors to Pipes, although their focus is on APIs vs feeds. Maybe start a new, open source version of Pipes?

  It really would be oh so nice to have something that can ingest RSS and Tweets and then apply filters to them while visualizing the logic through a graphical interface. Maybe even some fuzzy machine learning to use in building filters. Some more advanced dupe technology would go a long way. People would be building their own techmemes in no time. You could build ranking systems that award bonus points if something like longform or techmeme mention something. Maybe im dreaming about a free version of Percolate, which I have heard is really cool.

    For what it's worth, that is exactly one of the things I am building. Glad to read I am not the only one needing it.

    One of our open source projects[1], lets you consume RSS, Email, and Tweets, with more "stuff" coming, and apply filters and set triggers, etc. It's still pretty raw, and we don't have the really awesome visual interface for laying things out, but that sort of thing is something we hope to get to eventually. One other neat thing we do is pipe content through Apache Stanbol to do semantic entity extraction, and build up a knowledgebase as content is consumed.

    This is exactly what we are doing at http://www.feedsapi.com http://www.feedsapi.com , we don't use a graphical UI for the logic but keywords and RegEx to create filters... Many folks are already building their own techmeme with our API, it's however not a free service. I'm not sure if this fully fits your requirements but you should take a look.

    Checkout https://github.com/olviko/RssPercolator https://github.com/olviko/RssPercolator Pipes would often get blocked by 3rd party data providers, which motivated me to roll my own library. No graphical interface. Personally, I found Y! Pipes UI hard to work with when I needed to build large pipelines.

  Try Huginn. I found it very easy to setup and work with. https://github.com/cantino/huginn https://github.com/cantino/huginn

  Instead of closing it down, releasing the source and giving it to the community could breath live into it. I remember being blown away by it, the fact that it was neglected and just kept on says a lot about it's good design.

    This would be the right solution.
