NewsFeeds
Newsfeeds are a way of sharing content between different sites. A growing number of content providers
share parts of their content via RSS (Really Simple Syndication) Newsfeeds.
Newsfeeds are obtained from any site syndicating news using an RSS format. Joomla! is shipping with an
integrated Newsfeed reader. Newsfeeds may also be displayed on your site through the creation of a
custom Module accessed from Modules > Site Modules.
The Newsfeed Component gives you the ability to manage the existing Newsfeeds, place them into
Categories, and change the linking information required to receive the Newsfeeds from the different
providers.
