Getting error when adding news feed viewlet...

The following is the error I got when saving a news feed viewlet,after pasting in an url address, under shared dashboards/my profle in jazz.net. Any idea why? Thanks.

There was a problem loading the feed:
The feed URL is malformed (no protocol: www.google.ca)

Hi,

Could you say what kind of feed do you try do add? or could you give us the url to the feed?

kind regards,
Jakub

Hi,

make sure to prefix the feed-url with the protocol (most commonly "http://"). It seems, the feed viewlet is not working if you just type in the URL of the feed without specifying the protocol.

Thanks for your reply.. I pasted in the following exact url from the google site,

http://www.google.ca/

then click on save, and I am getting a different error this time as the following:

News Feed
There was a problem loading the feed:
The feed XML markup is malformed (The entity name must
immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference.)

The URL you use is not a valid news-feed but a normal website. What kind of newsfeed do you want to add from Google? An example for a valid newsfeed is the Jazz feed: https://jazz.net/pub/community/news/feed.rss?externalize=true
