I have a website and I want to show the feeds on my site, do you recommend any plugins or scripting i can use to show them? Thank you.

Hi James,

I would use Google's Feeds API https://developers.google.com/feed/v1/jsondevguide

<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=AIzaSyA5m1Nc8ws2BbmPRwKu5gFradvD_hgq6G0" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
/*
*  How to load a feed via the Feeds API.
*/

google.load("feeds", "1");

// Our callback function, for when a feed is loaded.
function feedLoaded(result) {
  if (!result.error) {
    // Grab the container we will put the results into
    var container = document.getElementById("content");
    container[removed] = '';

    // Loop through the feeds, putting the titles onto the page.
    // Check out the result object for a list of properties returned in each entry.
    // http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxfeeds/documentation/reference.html#JSON
    for (var i = 0; i < result.feed.entries.length; i++) {
      var entry = result.feed.entries[i];
      var div = document.createElement("div");
      div.appendChild(document.createTextNode(entry.title));
      container.appendChild(div);
    }
  }
}

function OnLoad() {
  // Create a feed instance that will grab Digg's feed.
  var feed = new google.feeds.Feed("http://www.digg.com/rss/index.xml");

  // Calling load sends the request off.  It requires a callback function.
  feed.load(feedLoaded);
}

google.setOnLoadCallback(OnLoad);
</script> 

For reference, here are the links to the social network RSS:

Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?id=[ID_OF_ACCOUNT]&format=rss20

Twitter:
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-timelines#customization
Unfortunately, Twitter is still pretty locked up, unless you want to do something more creative

Instagram:
