Howard Owens has an illuminating post about using free onine tools to enhance newspaper websites – in this case configuring Yahoo Pipes to produce lists of "related stories" to accompany news articles.
We use it on Beaufortgazette.com to combine AP video and staff produced video feeds and return it as JSON, which we turn into a multimedia carousel on the home page.
We do have to cache the output though, to avoid having Yahoo! shut the feed down after a minute or two of traffic.
