The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

I had unfortunately bought two of the other big RSS extensions before finding this one, and I was on the search because of a significant feature that wasn't mentioned on the other softwares' pages--the ability to truncate feeds. I wanted to have headlines and a few opening words from articles, but I had ethical qualms with posting other sites' entire feeds on my own.

RSS2Content gives you much more control over the look and content. You can choose how much of each element you want to add, and it has the added feature (lacking in the other extensions at this time of writing) of giving you control over the image sizes from the feeds. That was a big issue because overnight a feed would come down with giant pictures that ruined the layout of the website. R2C took care of that so that I didn't have to do so much babysitting on the incoming feed traffic.

I should also note that the programmers are a passionate scrappy bunch, in that they are constantly developing and improving the code based on customer feedback, and they are prompt and professional in their support. Neshko spent a few days on my server personally troubleshooting and fixing a minor issue I had with my version.

Installation was also easy.
