KPMG is a massive company, and that particular widget looks to be using shore.

I'd suggest first having a look at Facebook's Social Plugins, particular the embedded posts/videos and if you have a Facebook page, the Page plugin.

If that doesn't provide enough flexibility to achieve what you want, then you'd need to look at using the Facebook Graph API. That will involve sending requests and receiving the response (probably in JSON format), then parsing and formatting the results to get the desired output.

Otherwise, for something in between you can do a search for something like 'jquery facebook feed plugin' or similar.

Thank you! Hopefully I can do it with jQuery or facebook tools or plugin.
