An interesting new option for a very visual way to ‘mash up’ any social feeds. “Social Content Aggregator: Collect and curate user generated content”
http://www.tintup.com
The video on the front page is pretty good at explaining what it is. “tell your story through the voice of fans, customers, and employees”
When I tested it, it choked on my LInkedIn profile and I didn’t take time to troubleshoot it but I can see it’s a very powerful and easy to use tool to make a dynamic view of your social and other media. You can make two connections with a free account (free account no longer offered) but pricing jumps to $50/month from there for extra theme options and more
You can aggregate and curate from ANY Facebook profiles/pages/groups/hashtags, Twitter accounts/hashtags/favorites, Instagram accounts/hashtags/locations, Youtube channels/playlists, Pinterest accounts/boards, Google + accounts/hashtags, and any RSS into one beautiful hub. And them embed it into a site, app, Facebook Page etc etc etc…

OTHER SIMILAR SERVICES
- Tagboard.com: no pricing listed on their site – starts at $250/mo. It’s free to set up a “board” but embedding cleanly requires a paid account. Very similar to Tint: paid accounts can curate/approve content before it gets displayed. Real time user generated content with good control – they offer a kiosk/live event kind of service in addition to Web embeds.
- Juicer.io: two sources/1 embeddable feed free, 5 sources for $20/mo. This is a simpler but much more affordable service.
OTHER PLUGIN-BASED SOCIAL MEDIA FEED SERVICES
Here’s some inexpensive options that do something similar – and give you control of the code to fully customize it. Not many of these let you follow hashtags so if you need that option choose carefully.
- WordPress Social Stream by designchemical (at codecanyon)
- Social network tabs – similar idea all in a tabbed widget
- WordPress Social Timeline – retrieve status/posts/videos/images from different social networks in a timeline format
- ManageWP has a good list of social media feed plugins
