Gusher creates a chronological activity stream. 
You can add feeds from any of the services below:

    Delicious
    Disqus
    Flickr
    Github
    Google+
    Google Calendar
    Google Reader
    Instapaper
    Last.fm
    Stack Overflow
    Tumblr
    Twitter
    Vimeo
    YouTube

It consists of two parts:

    Gusher Server
       node.js module, manages Gusher accounts    
    gusher.js
       client-side script, fetches feeds and renders streams

Gusher uses technology from:

    jQuery
    ICanHaz.js
    mustache.js
    Node.js
    Express framework
    MongoDB
