Craigslist and Yahoo! Pipes
As many of you are aware, Craigslist recently started blocking Yahoo Pipes. We're currently working with them to establish why they did this and what can be done. In the meantime here are several alternative ways to use Pipes and Craigslist together:

1. As of this writing, you still can use the YQL module to fetch craigslist RSS feeds.

In the YQL module use this example statement:

select * from feed where url = "http://sfbay.craigslist.org/apa/index.rss"

2. You can also use Feedburner to act as a proxy.

Create a Feedburner account and burn the craigslist RSS feed.

Example feed:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/craigslist/OvXO

3. Create your own proxy using script hosting sites.

http://pipesproxy.jgate.de/?url=http://sfbay.craigslist.org/rea/index.rss

jgate.de is similar to what appjet was.

http://www.scriptlets.org also works, but as of this writing has issues.

4. You can also host your own proxy (or use appengine) and use that URL as your fetch feed link.
