Advanced Chinalyst tips : Playing around with Chinalyst's feeds

Using Yahoo Pipes, Chinalyst is fully customizable to achieve the feed that's right for you. Kevin of The Weifang Radish sent the following tip :

I have created a filter for Chinalyst's Recently Popular content using Yahoo! Pipes. The filter removes any content from the Recently Popular feed that I already subscribe to individually, letting me focus on popular content that I don't subscribe to and would therefore likely otherwise miss.

For example, I already subscribe to the China Law Blog feed, so I've filtered feed items from China Law Blog out of my Chinalyst Recently Popular Piped feed. I don't, however, subscribe to Chinese in Vancouver, so items from this blog appear in my Chinalyst Piped feed.

Take a look at the customized Chinalyst Piped feed edit and run mode. Since everything in Chinalyst is RSSable including most popular lists, categories, forums etc. you can play around with everything and customize Chinalyst to your liking.

If you've piped around Chinalyst, do share it with us. If you have any questions - comment here.

Thanks Kevin.
