How to add an arbitrary RSS feed to Google Buzz

Question

I'm trying to use Yahoo Pipes to solve the feedback loop of Buzz -> Twitter (via FriendFeed) -> Buzz, but am stumped at finding a way to bring the Yahoo Pipe RSS output back into Buzz. Does anyone know how to do this please?

Answer 1

I guess you could use the Google Buzz API to implement this. It would be a simple app that pulls the Yahoo Pipe RSS and writes it to Buzz. You could implement it on the Google App Engine and set up a cron job to run this task periodically.

Answer 2

You could create a website with the Yahoo Pipes RSS output as the auto-discovery feed, set up bidirectional rel="me" links to your Google Profile, and then plug it in as a 'Connected Site' in Buzz. I'm not sure this is that much simpler than the GAE + Buzz API approach since you have to create a site just for that feed, but it's another thing to consider at least.
