Subscribing to RSS feeds then becoming quickly overwhelmed by the huge amount of data coming back is a problem shared by millions of people. Yahoo have created a service called Pipes (the lines connecting everything look like pipes) which allows you to remix and mashup feeds. So you can choose the content you want - and you can change it as many times as you like.
You do not have to have advanced technical abilities to create something with Pipes.
Tony Hirst on the OUseful blog documents one for learning feeds that looks very interesting, making a pipe that delivers items from a static RSS feed:

Learners can choose how they subscribe to an RSS feed, based on their start time and ‘cycle’ period e.g. receiving one feed per day or one feed per week etc. This is different to subscribing to a blog RSS feed - with a blog, all content is updating regularly so the feed items change. Instead this feed is generated from static content that is not regularly changed.
How could this work in learning?
1.  Book/Booklet/Series of Articles - if you you wanted learners to study but wanted to give it to them in bite size pieces - such as one chapter or article per week. This may work better than giving them one giant PDF to download.
2.  Glossary or encyclopaedia - you could create a feed of specific terms or areas that you wanted learners to examine.
3.  Podcasts - if you have audio books or recorded ’shows’ or talks/presentations - again learners could subscribe and receive the feed according to their preferences.
This is my test Yahoo Pipe, mashing e-learning and m-learning yahoo search with some e-learning blog feeds.

I have put in a filter which was to include only items which mentioned ‘USA’  so that you only see a few items instead of thousands. This is out of 5 feeds and a yahoo search on e-learning and m-learning. This how the pipe looks in editing format.

To create this pipe in 7 steps:
1. Click on New button.
2. Click on Fetch feed
a) You need to find the location of feeds to add (this is usually shown on a blog page when you click on ’subscribe’ to blog). If you are unsure, you can always email the author of the blog and they can send you the link/URL.
b) Paste the URL (link) and click on the + sign to add as many as you would like.
3. Click on Yahoo Search and enter e-learning, m-learning.
4. You then need to ‘mash’ or ‘remix’ the feeds and the Yahoo search together. Click on Operators menu and Select Union. Its a bit like having a multiple power adaptor !
a)Click on the blue bubble at the bottom of the feeds box and ‘drag’ a blue pipe into one of the empty bubbles on the Union box. Do the same for the Yahoo Search box.
5.Select Filter from the Operators menu. choose what you want from the drop down menu, in this case Permit and All. Click on + to add a Rule and select Contains from drop down menu. Enter USA.
6. Click on the blue bubble at the bottom of the Filters box and connect to Pipe output box.
7. Click Save and give the Pipe a name (e.g. e-learning test). You can then click on Run to test it. If you would find it helpful to see this as a simulation please let me know.
