this is cool and all, but couldn't you just as easily
use something like Google Alerts to trigger on keywords
and links?
I suppose with something like this you would retain more
control over the sources and also Google Alerts sends
emails. It'd be nice if it could expose that service as
a feed.

With google alerts I'd still get alerts from my own
blog, as well as dupicates. plus, google is great but
having a view from multiple searchers will most likely
find you stuff that google hasn't indexed.
Also, with pipes I also added my own little text in the
beginning of each "find" that details the link it leads
to very easily.
It was already part of the feed, but it was hidden under
a "source" link, which I had to hover over to see who
linked to me.
I love the control I got that allows me to actually add
more meta data and text to each post so I ca get better
information.
That's cool, I can definitely see the bit of value add
you're getting by doing this. I was thinking of doing
something similar for my life stream. One feed if you
were interested in myself, i.e. flickr, dopplr, blog
etc.
