Yahoo! Inc. launched Yahoo pipes in February 2007. From launch it has dominated the market for customized RSS feeds and updates from various sites. The idea behind pipes comes from pipes in UNIX operating system. I’ll not elaborate these details in this post. Thousands of pipes available online but, searching for a best can be tough part. Here at Tutkiun! I’ve made this task easy for you.

Pipe takes as input, the URL for some website. As output, it makes a list of all sites linking back to the input URL. Note that this same functionality is available through Yahoo’s API, but the results are formatted in custom XML, rather than RSS.
