What web apps can integrate other social networks/feeds into Facebook? [closed]

I'm aware of FriendFeed, which can integrate a number of sites and RSS feeds and pipe to my Facebook profile. It works, but latency of updates can be pretty high (several hours). Also, the Facebook post only indicates a FriendFeed icon but nothing about where the link came from. To my friends, it's not clear it's a link to a site I Dugg or bookmarked in Delicious. It looks like I had written it myself.

Facebook blog import is not exactly a good option; it only supports one RSS feed.

Are there other options for link sharing from other sources?

How to add a LinkedIn company page in Sprout Social?

Sprout allows users to manage Facebook pages, Twitter accounts, G+ accounts, and personal LinkedIn profiles, but as far as I can tell it's impossible to add LinkedIn company pages.

Is this true? Or am I just doing it all wrong.

Equivalent of 'BCC' in Google+ so we can share posts with multiple people, privately?

In Google+ I would like to share a post privately to multiple people, with comments and re-sharing disabled and whoever received this post should not be able to see who else I've shared it with. Its a bit like the 'blind carbon copy' feature in emails. Is this possible?

If this is not possible then I think Google are missing a trick here. I like having lots of small private conversations, rather than big loud shared ones! I know you can send lots of individual posts, but that is tedious and inefficient.

How can I quickly populate a twitter list with selections from my main follow list?

I'm trying to populate a new twitter list based on people who I follow and actually know in real life, which is a subset of the 700 that I follow overall.

Having created the list, I'm finding it really tedious (and the interface is slow) to pick through my following list to add people to it. Is there a better way to:

  • Add people to a list more quickly?
  • Get suggestions based on who is in the list already (assuming some social graph connection would provide good suggestions)?

3rd party app suggestions welcome.

Quick way to share my webpage via links through Facebook or Tumblr

What HTML code do I need to include on my webpages if I want visitors to share the URL or links to their friends on a social network like Facebook or a web service like Tumblr?

I want the text to read something like:

Share with Facebook or Tumblr

Is there a web app or service that I can use that will include the popular options instead of having to know which service or social network I want to offer a share link to?

Card.ly social identity manager alternatives? [closed]

Is there a better social identity manager than Card.ly? It seems buggy (some errors because GD library is missing in PHP).

Alternative to Facebook [closed]

I'm looking for an alternative social networking site to Facebook.

Here's a list of preferred features:

  • Friends list to connect with others
  • Photo sharing integration with Flickr
  • Video integration with YouTube
  • Micro-Blogging integration with Twitter or it's own micro-blogging engine
  • Messaging
  • Login with OpenID
  • Not stupid micro-web-app integration like Mafia and Farmville
  • Granular privacy controls so I can control who is allowed to see what content
  • Advertisements are fine as long as they aren't too obtrusive

Don't be discouraged to answer with a social networking site that doesn't meet all of the requirements since I doubt there is a viable alternative that does.

I'm particularly looking for a site that doesn't host most of its own content because I don't like having to duplicate the effort of posting pics/videos/etc on multiple sites to share.

Update: Added the 'friends list' requirement. My apologies for forgetting to mention it earlier and if I may have created any unnecessary confusion.

I want a new unique online identity - how to find one? [closed]

I want to start a new online identity and use a single common identifier on as many sites as possible. What web apps or other methods are available for me to check if my proposed nickname is already in use? I definitely want to avoid any service that might start cybersquatting on the name, if any are suspected of doing that.

Edit: agreed, this does make my online presence very searchable, and I'll give that some more thought.

What is the Incoming Stream in Google+?

I noticed that Google+ lists "Incoming" under the Streams on the left-hand side of the page. What exactly is "Incoming" and how is it different than the standard "Home" view?

Mapping the link network between websites (blogs)?

I wish to create a link map between blogs so to reflect the "social network" between bloggers.

Such a service would take a starting point of a blog or two, and start adding links and mapping the links between them.

Is there a web service to do this?

(I am sure I once found a service that does that - but can't find it at the moment)

Access to Facebook groups without Facebook account?

Is there a way to access the content of Facebook groups without having a Facebook account?

I seem to remember this was possible in the past, but now all I see is a login screen. I thought it was maybe the privacy setting of the specific group I tried to access, but after having tried about a dozen random other groups it seems Facebook has completely closed down the access to their groups for non-Facebook members.
