For twitter I use the perl backend scripts (https://github.com/ciderpunx/twitrssme/tree/master/fcgi) from http://twitrss.me/ by itself. It's pretty easy to scrape twitter users/searches and generate RSS feeds on disk for my native reader.

# in a bash script called by cron every handful of hours there are many, many lines like this:

    perl twitter_user_to_rss.pl gnuradio > ~/limbo/www/rss/gnuradio.xml

    perl twitter_search_to_rss_wtf.pl "rtlsdr" > ~/limbo/www/rss/rtlsdr.xml
