one input box for feeds enables you to add unlimited feeds per module instance.This feed cache is different to Joomla's cache, as you may need to have your site refreshed every 5 minutes, but have the feeds the module retrieves stored longer than 5 minutes. The feeds are stored inside your Joomla site's cache folder and refreshed in a specific time interval, which you set in the module's parameters. The 'Simple RSS Feed Reader' module is based on the same feed parsing engine that powers, the most popular Joomla news aggregator in the Joomla Community. But when Google offered Google Reader at the altar of Google+ back in 2013, that era came to an end, even as diehard news junkies kept holding on to their Feedly accounts and old copies of NetNewsWire.You can even publish multiple feeds at the same time (meaning in the same module instance) and have them display combined! Yet while RSS was always extremely useful, the user experience wasn’t always ideal, though services like Google Reader (RIP) and Feedly did a lot to make it simple enough to subscribe to feeds and get updates. Even today, it’s still the easiest way to get timely updates from your favorite sites (though some may not offer feeds anymore) without any recommendation algorithms getting in your way. RSS was one of the fundamental technologies of the Web 2.0 era.

“Our vision is to help people build a direct connection with their favorite publishers and creators on the web.”Ī Google spokesperson told me that the way the company has implemented this is to have Google crawl RSS feeds “more frequently to ensure Chrome will be able to deliver the latest and greatest content to users in the Following section on the New Tab page.” It’s a lot for any one person to manage, so we’re exploring how to simplify the experience of getting the latest and greatest from your favorite sites directly in Chrome, building on the open RSS web standard,” Janice Wong, product manager, Google Chrome, writes in today’s update. “Today, people have many ways to keep up with their favorite websites, including subscribing to mailing lists, notifications and RSS.
