It was absolutely usefull! BTW, do you know any easy way from exporting a list with all feeds link from Google Reader? I mean, for making steps 1 to 4 a single step. Hey, thanks!

Hopefully some people will be inspired by this to think of other uses as well. One thing I\'m curious about is what you tried in terms of making the spreadsheet url a parameter. You said that it was somewhat unreliable in output and it\'s possible I have the fix for it. It turns out that the parameter name in text inputs have a bit of undocumented restrictions which we will be fixing. For the moment though, make sure the name for your parameter is lowercase and does not contain any spaces or special characters (the prompt can be anything you want). If that doesn\'t work, let me know what the Pipe is and maybe we can take a look at why it\'s unreliable. Kevin Pipes Team Mark,

I was dreading maintaining 100+ feeds for my site aggregator in Pipes — their UI is not maintenance-friendly, and I was trying to figure out how to trick Pipes into using my OPML file … alas. Google to the rescue! Brilliant bit of hackery and creativity. Thanks, Rich <a href="http://tatumweb.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">BlogRodent</a> Mark, this is brilliant!

I did use the Publish option (that's how the RSS feed works), but for some reason it still isn't visible to non-Googlers. I'll poke around and see if I missed something. Thanks, JR.

In fact, if you go to the MORE PUBLISHING OPTIONS link within the publish pane, you can get html to embed the spreadsheet directly in your blog. btw - this is very cool stuff you posted.
