Google maps, social media, and PubMed listing feeds are among the Tridion components that can make your site more engaging and interactive for visitors.
This section of instructions provides information on adding External Content Feeds to a page via Tridion.

Social Media
Given YSM's guidelines regarding interactions with patients, there are limited options for adding social media "features" to your site. In addition to a Twitter feed, the Web Group can add linked buttons to your site that direct users to your social media sites.

PubMed Publications Feed
Some organizations and labs will want to list recent publications. Tridion has a PubMed component that automatically updates publications onto your page by pulling in information from PubMed.

National Cancer Institute PDQ Database Integration
The school has built an integration with the National Cancer Institute's PDQ database, a comprehensive database with summaries of thousands of cancer topics.
Data files from NCI's database are downloaded and deployed to the School of Medicine's servers on a nightly basis, ensuring its websites have the most up-to-date NCI content.
This is an automated process, and once setup on a site the content and links to the summary information are automatically maintained.
