Interestingly, there was some early work in the timeframe of Android Ice Cream Sandwich (4.x) to create unified social media stream, something that AFAIK was also done with specialized apps on some BlackBerry Android based device IIRC.

Didn't go anywhere, probably because of ad revenue needs.

I remember this as more of a Windows Phone thing. From looking at screenshots, the People screen had a What's New tab that may be what I'm remembering. I believe that was intended to pull in latest posts across social media for all contacts.

Windows Phone quite probably had similar features, but I am specifically referring to this Social API[1] and related applications

I think windows phone had the same thing as well, a unified in box where you could receive all your updates in a single place
