A FriendFeed widget might be the way to go:

1) Setup a FriendFeed account
2) Add any IxDA related feed to that
3) Place a FriendFeed widget on the IxDA site

The FriendFeed approach has the advantage that, later on, more
services can be incorporated, thus appearing in the feed.

I'm happy to do this if people think it's a good idea.

We can always try it and get rid of it if should the benefits not
outweigh the visual noise.
