Yahoo Groups, Unique
content for Blog
I recently came across a posting
where someone is subscribed
on a MAILING LIST on yahoo
groups, and then auto-posts
the incoming mails to blogger.
This is pure genius. Why?
Because we’re dealing with
truly unique content which is
posted to the blogs via email as
soon as it arrives.
It works that you sign up for
some group on Yahoo groups,
and then get the mailing lists
emails sent to some GMAIL
account with a forwarder
which posts to the blogger
blog.
HOWEVER – THIS NEEDS SOME
WORK, and here is where i
need some input from you
guys how to go about this:
The problem is that the yahoo
groups messages arrive with a
lot of crap attached to them,
like yahoo ads and links to
yahoo and some other stuff
which needs to be stripped.
(This is the reason i set blogger
to only save the incoming mails
as DRAFTS, and then hand-edit
them)
But i want to automatize this. I
am wondering whether i can
use yahoo pipes, or dapper, or
some PHP script or anything.
Goal:
Yahoo Groups mailing group
sends MSG with crap attached
to some email (the email COULD
also further be redirected to a
website, eg. using
posterous.com. But it needs to
be a “hidden” site which only
we can access because we dont
want dupe penalty!)
Now i need a parser/filter
which strips all that stuff out
and then posts it further to the
blogger blog (or wordpress)
–
without the yahoo links and
ads.
Another solution would be a
PHP script which acts like a
mailing adress, where i can mail
those yahoo groups mailings
to
…and then it cleans up the
email and forwards it to
wherever i want.
Anyone any idea?
Notice the potential of this
since we
’re dealing with
UNIQUE content which is not
indexed by Google
– i just want
to automatize the whole thing!
