+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

+The currently supported sites are:
+
+  * Twitter.com
+  * Pump.io based websites, like Identi.ca

+  * Howtoons.com
+  * Instagram.com
+  * Facebook.com (public pages)

 a filter in your feed reader, by passing the URL of the user's public timeline
 as the first argument.
