Create a social media stream component

Create a component that can show data from various social media streams

Might take a look at https://github.com/christianv/jquery-lifestream which offers something similar as jquery plugin. We could adapt that for our needs and rewrite it when we have more time.

Just as a sidenote, I would like to do the data retrival either fully on server, so the client gets a better user expirience when loading a page, since using many of the social medias can slow down the whole page load...
Instant update could still be made, but I don't think that this would make sense since the component might get updated via ajax when making a JSF request.

Requirements for server retrival:

• Processing has to be parallel, so do it in separate threads
• A configurable amount of entries should be cached on the server side
• Should not slow down initial requests, maybe start processing early via some lifecycle callbacks or so
• A configurable interval or other trigger should be used for purging the cache with reasonable defaults
