Part of the solution is in using industry standards. In this particular case, I could get rid of one or two layers in the middle, without losing much functionality, mainly because these services use RSS feeds both in and out. Best regards -Ismael Bob,

I think that I would worry that such a layered approach to using such services could break your output should the provider of one of them choose to change their service, or perhaps go out of business. I think my concern is the level of service continuity, and the notification of changes by the providers. If you're creating a system internal to an organization or an outsourcing contract, you can agree on SLAs and so on. Prehaps we need something of a similar arrangement to give confidence that our own creations will continue, or that we have the time to make our own changes. What do you think? -Bob Hi Ismael,

If you’re creating a system internal to an organization or an outsourcing contract, you can agree on SLAs and so on. Prehaps we need something of a similar arrangement to give confidence that our own creations will continue, or that we have the time to make our own changes.

What do you think?

I have been trying to do something like that in pipes, but wasn't able to. I think a pipe with updates from all the blogs of the Office 2.0 services would also be cool, and much easier to do. Maybe use the content analyzer to see if they used words such as Update or New or Feature to only show these posts. That is cool.
