Simple Jekyll tag which displays the notices in a given status.net/ostatus feed.

ostatus_tag.rb

require 'date'
require 'ostatus'

module Jekyll
  class RenderOStatus < Liquid::Tag
    def render(context)
      site = context.registers[:site]
      feed = OStatus::Feed.from_url(site.config['ostatus_feed'])
      
      result = "<h2>#{feed.author.name}'s microblog</h2>"
      result << "<ul class=\"ostatus\">"
      
      feed.entries.each do |entry|   
        result << "<li>#{entry.content}</li>"
      end
      
      result << "</ul>"
      result.force_encoding('utf-8')
    end
  end
end

Liquid::Template.register_tag('ostatus', Jekyll::RenderOStatus)

And it needs ostatus_feed in your _config.yml set to your ostatus atom feed.

Thanks.
I've found another solution for my needs, but I'll bear that one in mind.
I'll integrate that later with another feed
