I’m just such a glutton for punishment… the slightest external interest in things that might be OUseful, and like a whotsit chasing a doo dah, I can’t but bite… So for example: in Videographics from the Economist last week(?!), @deburca wrote:

If you bookmark the pipe URI – http://pipes.yahoo.com/ouseful/dtv_economist – to a DeliTV tag on your delicious account, the Economist programme feeds should appear wherever you’ve tag-programmed them to….
