Pipes Demonstration
Yes, one of the benefits of syndicating content is that your users can subscribe to it,
but equally important for me is that it allows me as an organization to get my content off my website so that it’s more visible where my users are.
Most importantly, it automates that process so that I don’t have to spend precious resources manually updating a multitude of sites, inevitably forgetting about one of them. Jenny Levine – The Shifted Librarian
