Managing Feeds

Inception feeds are interactive lists of content gathered from social media sites, RSS feeds, or news wire services. Inception enables you to manage feeds from Facebook, Flickr, Instagram, Sina Weibo, Twitter, Mass Relevance, RSS, and Wires. You can view feed content and manage various aspects of a feed through the Feed Viewer panel.

For Facebook, Flickr, Instagram, Twitter, and Wires you can configure the following two types of feeds:

Managed feeds show content posted to the account associated with the feed, whether or not Inception posted the content. Managed feeds also show content posted by content consumers in response to the content published on your account.

Search-Based feeds show the content retrieved from a social media site or news wire service that matches the search terms defined for the feed. You can add retrieved content to a playlist to make it available to external systems, such as character generators.

Inception automatically deletes unreferenced content from a Search-Based feed 30 days after creating the feed. Inception does not delete search-base feed content referenced by a playlist.
