Article-based CMS Publishing vs CMS

I've seen a video (somewhere) about creating a cms page where it looked like a collection of information from other places, and there are articles on AA. Can I assume they are 2 similar but separate features?

I'm trying to figure out how these things could be used on our site.

 

:doh:

The answer I was seeking was in the screen shots here:
Purchase vBulletin, the most powerful forum software available.
