Fraidycat is a desktop app or browser extension for Firefox or Chrome. You can use it to follow people (hundreds) on whatever platform they choose - Twitter, a blog, YouTube, Instagram or even on a public TiddlyWiki.

So it's like a feed reader, and if you use your browser sync functionality, it will sync between your devices. Really worth trying out this concept, especially if you don't want to setup your own web-based feed reader. The built-in (and increasing) support for many non-RSS sources is also nice.
