Publisher review:NewsTopica allows you to create your own news or blog aggregation site. Using the powerful engine of PHP Link Directory, NewsTopica brings a whole new concept, allowing you to create your own news or blog aggregation site:Create Categories - you can create categories for news or blog topics. You may import multiple feeds into one category, and then sort them by date, pagerank, hits or alphabetically. Import Feeds - Feeds are imported, and sorted by age. The more recent news appears first. Front Page - For each category, you can decide if you want stories to appear on the first page (or not), and decide how many. Setup Cron - You can setup a cron to import news stories as often as you like. You can also run a cron to delete older stories. Great for Niche Sites - Let's suppose you want to create a news site for your niche. For example, you could create a news site about Baseball, and then import RSS feeds for each team in the league. Create a large, searcheable site - Over time, your site will be enormous, with huge stores of information that is all searcheable. Search Engine Friendly - Using mod_rewrite, category URLs should be spidered well by search engines.
