Thou i personally would recommend using your mobile and feed reader to handle your sms and feeds, French designer named Jean-Louis Frechin came up with idea, what about a digital shelf which can display SMS messages and news items from RSS feeds.

WaSnake, as the product is called, is made from wood and an elastomer material. The non-flexible houses clusters of colored LEDs and optical fibers which makes a display which lets you displaying everything from RSS feed headlines like a stock ticker, to SMS messages.

If you are considering torn down your shelves of living room and setting this up, Best of luck then!
