Combining RSS Feeds

Lately I have found it very challenging to read all the RSS feeds that collect in Google Reader. A lot of the feeds I receive often repeat information making it a lot of extra work to weed through the list. I stumbled across Yahoo Pipes recently. Yahoo Pipes allows users to 'mashup' multiple RSS feeds into one feed. The cool part is that you can filter, sort, and display the final feed any way you like.

This would be great to use with students who are studying specific topics across the curriculum. They could filter their RSS feeds based on the specific information they are researching. Teachers could also use this to 'mashup' their students' blog feeds into just one RSS feed instead of several different ones.
