I am building a social network site. My plan is that every user would be able to write articles, tips, upload pictures, comment to others, like other posts etc.
My question is how can I aggregate all the user different activities in to one page (e.g. wall), so the user and all the other users can see all the activities in one page (similar to facebook wall)?
Thanks in advance.
You need to give the ability to users to create a relationships. https://drupal.org/project/user_relationships. You can set up what kind of content is shareable.
Then using https://drupal.org/project/heartbeat you can get activity streams.
Really do yourself a favor and get https://drupal.org/node/1849900. It can save up huge amounts of time, allowing you to set up a facebook-like network in a few hours!
The Drupal Wall module is what you're looking for. This matches your requirement.
Objective
To enable the users to get the status posting functionality just like facebook status posts and wall posts. Users can upload their status with an image and video.
Description
This module allows you to post the status on a user’s profile in the form of text, image or video status. Logged user can post comments on any user’s status. Visitors can only view the status and comments of any user (by default). While the permission of View/ Delete/ Edit can also be set by the administrator. The user can delete only that post or comment which he/ she has submitted to other profile. Posts on user’s own profile can also be easily deleted or edited instantly via AJAX.
Also, it allows the user to like his own status or comments as well as other user’s status with help of a well known FLAG module. The theming of wall status will give you the experience just like the facebook wall.
The Statuses also does the same
Provides status updates / microblogs like Facebook's Wall / News Feed, Twitter's Timeline, and Yammer's Feed. Users can update their own status or write messages to other users, nodes, Organic Groups, taxonomy terms, or other entity types. @mentions and #hashtags are supported, as well as comments on status updates, viewing conversations between users, the ability to "like"/"reply" to/RT a message, automatic updates without page refreshing, and integration with over 20 modules.
You can check Heartbeat module.
Heartbeat displays user activity on a website. This module is an API to log activity. The logged data contains message structures, attributes and variables. Once the activity messages exist in the database, they will be parsed and build into activity streams.

I used this module in D6 for a project in a block & it worked fine for my particular need.
