Looking for ideas how to build a news stream
Hi guys,
I’m working on the http://healthclub.rs/ website, and at the moment there is no easy way to check for new content by the returning visitors. I’d like to add a “widget” to the home page (like a news ticker, or a scrollable pane) that would include all of the activity that’s going on throughout the site, and it’s channels.
Things I’d like to include (so far) are:
- all new comments (we’re using Disqus)
- all tweets (all posts that are published are going directly to Twitter via Dlvr.it, so I’ll just use the Twitter feed for new published posts as well)
What I’m guessing is that I need a plugin or a PHP script that would mash up these RSS feeds, anyone knows of something I could use? Ideally I’d like the activity to be linear and counter–chronological (latest first) irregardless of the news item type; i.e. I’d like to have the comments and tweets in a single stream — ideally.
Any help is appreciated,
cheers.

I’ve done something similar before using yahoo pipes to aggregate and interleave different feeds and then used one of the xml / simplepie feed import plugins to bring the feed from yahoo pipes into txp. Maybe that would help.
