An easy way to update multiple sites?

[butcher]

I have a network of sites all in the same niche, just different locations. They all have unique content but i want to add a generic news part to all sites. I need an easy way to create the news article once and have it update on all sites. Im fairly confortable with PHP/mySQL.
Any suggestions?
Cheers

turn your new content into an rss feed and just have all your feeder sites grab the feed.

or get funky with your xml-rpc/those new zend functions... but the first way it by far the easiest.

Hi,

Rss feed is easy but its visible for all....

so try with xml-rpc/those or cron job..

or you may use protected rss feed..

Thanks guys, probably a stupid question but here goes..

If I use a xml feed does google see this as content on my sites or does it ignore feeds?
