Combining Tagspaces with Yahoo! Pipes

Yesterday Jon Udell asked if anyone had an easy way to combine a bunch of tagged items--basically creating the union of a bunch of RSS feeds.

Is there a service that will deliver a feed containing the union of tagged items for one tag across a set of various services? For example, the union of:

del.icio.us/tag/astronomy
technorati.com/posts/tag/astronomy
flickr.com/photos/tags/astronomy
connotea.org/tag/astronomy
wordpress.com/tag/astronomy/
…etc…

Easy to do, I suppose, but I don’t want to reinvent a wheel.

Amusingly, I immediately thought of Yahoo! Pipes and was going to post a response in his comments. But when I clicked through to do so, I noticed that his astute readers beat me to it. :-)

Be sure to check the other comments for more discussion and other similar solutions, some of which also involve Pipes.

I'd actually started building a pipe to do that at the last hack day, but hit a bunch of problems. Will share it with you sometime.
