Open source tool for managing social media accounts

Question

Is there any open source tool / app for managing social media accounts?

I am running a startup. I would like to manage all the social media accounts like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google Plus in one place.

I searched, but I end up getting only paid tools.
