  Does anybody have an idea for what software to use?

  You may want to look into [Camtwiststudio](http://camtwiststudio.com) for the mac. I work with [Desert Bus for Hope](http://desertbus.org) doing a weeklong stream as well and we use it for just the sort of thing you're talking about.
  
  Camtwist has built-in plugins for both Twitter and RSS, and can leverage quartz composer to make more complicated overlays.
  
  It outputs a video feed for other Mac OS X applications to see it like a QuickTime video source, so you can use wireless or Flash Media Live encoder to do the actual compression and streaming.
