How can I create a twitter type news feed for my website?

[Nick]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to work out how I could create a news feed for my website that shows updates based on pages that people are following. The main difference between this and a twitter news feed is that the updates will not be generated by a user, they need to be issued when new information is added regarding the page they are following.
To give an example of what I mean: A user is following the TV Show "The Office" and every time the page is updated with certain information - ie a new episode is airing, then this information will show up in their news feed.
This is being done from scratch and I don't want to use any prebuilt CMS like mediawiki or anything. Any suggestions on how I could go about getting this done will greatly appreciated
