Mother of all security feeds
Using Yahoo! Pipes, I tied in over 100 different security blogs into a single feed, sorted by newest on top, and encompasses all areas of security. When I have some more time I’ll add security news sites like DarkReading, SecurityFocus, etc.
I know Mark Curphey was working on a a newer, improved SBN, but I don’t know what happened to it. If anyone has any tips for optimizing the pipe and filtering irrelevant content out, let me know.
Hi
Not a better SBN, just a different type of thing. Filtered rather than open. I played with pipes. It was cool but I found it to be buggy.
The thing I found wrong with Pipes is not the app itself (which sometimes doesn’t want to save, but I haven’t noticed that too much) but that not all blogs like to play nice. Some have different elements in their xml/rss and it makes it more difficult to do filtering decisions.
Daniel Meissler had emailed me about a previous pipe I created to let me know that the filtering based on recentness (<10 days) wasn't working the way I wanted it too. We concluded that the application isn't smart enough to make that kind of distinction based on date and a value "less than 10."
Hopefully Yahoo will improve their features and fix some of the problems.
Curphey’s pipe was haxxored by myself and turned in to the ISM-Community Combined Feed. You can steal the piping/programming (fruck, it’s that easy, aggregate, sort by date, and take the most recent 25) and make a nice all-source security news feed if you’re into it, or if you want I can do it jointly with you, just let me know.

Hi Marcin
I got something more formal up:

Hi Marcin, mind if I steal your blog lists? I like the way you classified them as web applications, NSM, etc.
Sure! no problem.. I sent you an email with more details.
