I doubt anyone on this newsgroup knows anything about freeware social 
network aggregators.

Even I had never heard of upscoop before but apparently it collected all 
the social networks of all your friends in your google contact list

Here are reviews of other freeware social network aggregators but most 
aggregate YOUR social networks but upscoop apparently did the opposite.

You might want to try flock or spock freeware social network aggregators

In the end, you'll not find what you're looking for here as this is a very

private bunch who probably doesn't even use social networking tools. You 
can try over on comp.dcom where they're more open and knowledgeable about 
other freeware sites.
