A few days ago, I build a pipe collecting all news about Pipes from different sources. It turned out, that the resulting RSS feed contained a lot of postings from the future: Postings with future dates. And moreover, it was the same posting every time the RSS reader refreshed. Since the sources include search engines such as Google’s blogsearch, I considered this posting (and a few more) to be spam (the next big thing: RSS-Spam! (: ).
I reconfigured my pipe so that it excludes postings with future dates. And doing this, I found that you actually can use relative dates in the date builder module of Pipes.
This will always give you the current date. Pretty cool, I think.
