+Tweeper can easily scrape sites other than Twitter, it is just a matter of
+writing an xsl stylesheet for the transformation; an example for pump.io
+activity stream is provided in rss_converter_pump.io.xsl
+
+The currently supported sites are:
+
+  * Twitter.com
+  * Pump.io based websites, like Identi.ca
+  * Dilbert.com
+  * Howtoons.com
