Microblogging + RSS for private use

Hello,

I'd like to aggregate RSS/Atom and microblogging updates and display
them all in a Twitter-homepage-like fashion in my computer, ideally
sorted by date.
I know there is Gnu Social, which I just checked out from Git, but I'd
like to have it display RSS feeds as well.
I have also thought going the other way around, taking a feed reader and
having it also display status updates in the same manner. I've tried
compiling Liferea in the past without much luck (maybe I'll retry).
I also know of NewsBlur, but I don't really know how free it is, and
trying to let it loose it may prove too time-consuming.

Does this all sound too unrealistic? Do you have alternative suggestions?

Many thanks.

I'm not entirely sure, but maybe http://pump.io is worth a try?

Cheers,

Robert

I've setup a local GNU Social server and it looks great so far, having a
Twitter Bridge plugin pre-installed which I can tweak, and of course the
ability to follow any other Gnu Social user. All that remains is
figuring out how to subscribe to arbitrary RSS feeds and display them in
my timeline.
Does pump.io offer such functionality out of the box? I'll look into it
too, thanks!

Are GNU Social and pump.io related, by the way?

P.S. I'm leaving home tomorrow for a week, so I'll respond to any
answers then.

It is the successor of GNU social (aka status.net)
All I can do is heading you in that direction and hoping you find
anything there, I don't have much of a clue about how to intract with
any of these services.

It is more the new initiative of the status.net developer than the successor
of status.net. I am also still running my own GNU social instance.

Kind Regards,

Friendica subscribes to arbitrary RSS feeds and displays updates in the timeline, just to add more software choices.

Hello, just saw your answer, MJ Ray. I'll check out Friendica too, many
thanks! :)

Once I'm done, I'll post details about what I did.
