CleverClogs is at it again, this time Marjolein has whipped up the OnePipe bookmarklet that will allow you to filter the feed of the page you are on, and generate a new feed for you.

What an excellent idea, there are so many services that remix (filter and splice) feeds, but it requires you to register and get going. Now this is so fast with a bookmarklet I may be more prone to filter feeds, one click away, you can’t complain about that.

My blog has category feeds, just add “/feed’ to the end of a category URL, I wonder if you could filter for terms within a blog category, your category feeds would probably have to be listed as auto discoverable in your source code. If this was the case I’d love to go to a blog and be able to select category feeds to splice and maybe also filter.

Here is OnePipe in Marjoein’s words:

“OnePipe is a browser bookmarklet I created to filter any feed by topic. It’s simple to use: install the bookmarklet, navigate to any website whose feed you’d like to filter and click the OnePipe button. You’ll be prompted to enter any topic or word after which OnePipe will generate a custom feed that only contains those items that match your keywords. The exciting part about OnePipe is that it can be used over and over again.”

The bonus is you even get to preview your new feed in Grazr.

“…to subscribe to your newly created feed in your feed reader, grab the entire URL off the Grazr address bar. Select the URL, copy it to the clipboard and paste it into the dialog box that your feed reader provides for new subscriptions.”

I’d also like to be able to subscribe to my RSS Reader right from the bookmarklet, like the RSS Preview Blum. I wonder if you could subscribe to IM or SMS from the bookmarklet by hooking it up with Rasasa, Blastfeed or ZapTxt.

Coming soon: field filtering eg. within the title, category, author, etc…

Also included is the AllButPipe bookmarklet the filters out terms…how about this in the same bookmarklet?

msgr - create your own IM

Conduit - create your own toolbar, eg. TechCrunch…also see BizBar. [via go2web2]

Jaxtr (Voice Blast) - via a blog widget people can ring the widget number and talk to you live or leave a voicemail, now even the widget owner can leave messages for others to hear…to the list.

GotZapp - a mobile social network. Download the Zirada Publisher, then you can create “zapp’s” these are multi media mini mobile websites, eg. profile pages, journals, galleries, annoucements, or make your own…see the tutorial.Then simply publish the zapp to the website.
Send a zapp from your PC to a friends web-enabled mobile…even send a zapp from your web-enabled mobile.
You can’t create a zapp from your phone, and your have to have the web on your phone to send and receive zapp’s…bad luck if you’re limited to MMS.
I’ll add Gotzapp to this list and this list.

Subtlety - RSS feed for a directory path, keep updated with new documents or folders added to a directory path…see more.
What if I did this for my blog, here is all posts on the date 2007/03/13:
http://libraryclips.blogsome.com/2007/03/13
If I tracked this URL above, would it of notified me that this post below had been added:
http://libraryclips.blogsome.com/2007/03/13/feedable-memetracker-rss-reader/
I think this is purely notification, you wouldn’t see any content.

Yesterday I mentioned about the possibilities for Twitter but failed to mention a comments feature.

My suggestion is comments for each post (like Jaiku), at the moment you can Direct Message a person to perhaps respond to a particular post, or some people just post as usual with “@name” before the message, which is a bit messy as some of us who don’t follow the person they are replying to don’t have context as we didn’t see the post they are responding to (really, it’s not for our eyes).

Maybe we could comment on a post as a reply mechanism, this comment wouldn’t appear in your user public stream, and people who follow you won’t see the comment (as like before they may not know what you are commenting about).

All people following the person who posted would see the comment, even if they don’t follow the commenter, or the commenter could restrict the comment to just be seen by the poster (similar to a direct message, only threaded).

How would the commands work, you would have to comment to a unique post ID, ie. each post in Twitter eg. http://twitter.com/steverubel/statuses/8002231.

Maybe a comment command could be:
8002231 thanks for the tip

What if you only want the person you are commenting on to see:
D steverubel 8002231 thanks for the tip

Only issue is when you receive an update it only lists the username and the message, it doesn’t list the postID, I don’t thinking selecting reply on your phone or IM will work.
It would be all easy on the web, just browse to the post and leave a comment.

Check out my Twitter Tips and Tricks! post which delves into this topic a little more, especially with the idea of public direct messages.
