Display random feed items – [How To]

FeedBurner has a nice option of BuzzBoost which republishes the feeds as HTML. It would have been better had there been an option of random items.

However, one can use Yahoo! Pipes to get that done. Here is how:

1. Goto the Random Feed Pipe
2. Put in your RSS Feed Address (eg. http://feeds.feedburner.com/fullyfaltoo )
3. Run Pipe
4. and there is your list of random feed items :D (very simple - isn’t it ? )

At this point one can use the default Badge option to showoff the feeds and embed on a web-page or still better, re-burn this feed on FeedBurner and use the BuzzBoost (click “more options” at pipes page » Get as RSS » copy this URL and re-burn it on FeedBurner).
