Quote from the article: "So what do I ask for? A service (that I’d personally be willing to pay a nominal fee for [re: $20/yr.]) that combines feeds from nearly every social media service, provides very flexible organization of them, and is web-accessible as well as available in an app form."

The closest thing to this is Flipboard. No web app yet, but I use their Android app to read my RSS, Linkedin, Google+, Facebook, Twitter (one account only at the moment). It lets you connect other networks too.

I've used Flipboard in the past, but what I wasn't a fan of was it's lack of organization. It's new "Magazines" feature looks close to what I'm looking for, but not quite, unless I'm missing something.

I don't want to add content to a magazine, but rather feeds. Perhaps I'm overlooking this, but it doesn't appear to let you add, say, your family's different social media accounts spanning all networks into a single magazine. Rather, it lets you add their individual posts into a magazine for reading later. I'd prefer telling Flipboard "Hey, put ALL of this person's individual posts from Facebook, and their Twitter account, and Tumblr, and Instagram, and etc., in this magazine, that also does the same for these other people."

Flipboard is coming mighty close though. Thanks for the tip.
