How to Improve Yahoo! Pipes

I have recently become fascinated with Yahoo! Pipes because it is so simple to use. I’ve even completely given up on visiting Digg by aggregating popular content from Reddit, Digg, and Delicious and sending it Google Reader! Here are some modules I wish they would implement.

  1. Intersection: It is already possible to do this in Yahoo! Pipes but why don’t they implement it?
  2. Unique Filter by Source: It would be nice to give precedence for a certain source if there are duplicate entries. For example, if I take data from Delicious and Smashing Magazine, I might want to return the Smashing entries over the Delicious entries. I’m not sure which source the Unique module chooses from.
  3. Support for HTTP-Auth: The Diigo API can’t be accessed currently from Pipes due to this limitation.

What are your suggestions?
