This document introduces personal news pages and personal streams on the Eqentia platform. It explains that users can customize their experience by removing or adding curated content channels. Users can also build a personal stream by importing content from Twitter favorites, Google Reader, or by using bookmarklets to save or filter articles. The personal stream aggregates content from various sources in a personalized news feed for the user.
