In Greek mythology, Argus is a many-eyed giant, who was attributed as “all-seeing”. This led to him being described with multiple, often one hundred, eyes. Like Argus, this plugin will “see” as many RSS feed as you wish and use their content concomitantly, importing any amount of content to your website.
