Abstract
The technology disclosed relates to adapting online social feed items according to the posting formats of each of the multiple destination online social environments to which they are posted, regardless of the source online social environments from which they originate. In particular, it relates to creating separate instances of a feed item such that each of the instances includes tag formats, social handles or identifiers that are compatible to the online social environments in which they are embedded. These separate instances of a feed item can all be embedded in a first online social environment while preserving their tag formats corresponding to other online social environments.
