web information management software
I am translating a user's opinion about a piece of web information management software. The complete phrase is:
"Pour ma part, plus que les recherches multi moteurs et multi langues pour toutes mes envies, je suis plutôt axé sur les flux, et la connaissance immédiate permise, avec l'accès aux articles dans les médias concernés, avec leur classement."
What would be the best translation for "les flux" in this phrase?

Note from asker:
| In the particular context, I've opted for the 'streaming' to go with feeds, as it reads better in English. Thanks for you help. |

flux
It means the same in English as well. You can retain the word as it is. 'Flux' means continuous change/flow or discharge. It also means the strength of a field in a given area expressed as the product of the area and the component of field strength at right angles to the area. ex. magnetic flux, electric flux.
