I need to add a custom identity provider to Azure B2C and unsure how to do this.
I know this is possible in Azure ACS, but not sure if B2C is just a "prettier" layer on top of ACS.
Can anyone clarify the difference, and perhaps tell me how I can create a custom IDP for a social network not listed in B2C?

Summary – Azure AD, Azure AD B2B, Azure AD B2C Azure AD B2B is not a separate service but a feature in Azure AD. It allows cross-organization collaboration in applications from an identity standpoint. Azure AD B2C is an independent service for building a consumer application identity repository.
Azure Active Directory B2C (Azure AD B2C) is an identity management service that enables custom control of how your customers sign up, sign in, and manage their profiles when using your iOS, Android, . NET, single-page (SPA), and other applications.
In B2B the authenticated user will be on your AD. In B2C the customer user will be on a separate B2C AD. The user management factor is also completely different. With Azure AD B2B, the host is in full control of the system, but with Azure AD B2C, customers have the ability and control to self-serve.
Is Azure AD SaaS or PaaS? Office 365 is a SaaS , which provides an online version of MS Office Suite (Office Web Apps) along with SharePoint Server, Exchange Server, and Lync Server. Windows Azure is both IaaS and PaaS, which makes the Windows Server operating system and other features available as services.
All of the authentication process now is centralized in AAD other options remains temporarily as compatibility services but they will be retired in future.
ACS is migrating to whole AAD feature.
As you can see in current azure product offerings there is no reference to ACS, even more all the ACS stuff used to be done thru the old Silverlight Azure portal and few things in the 'older' site manage.windowsazure.com.
No references about ACS in the new one

B2C is oriented to full current standards like OAuth and the authentication model is created to be embraced by web, mobile and desktop developers.

As you can see AAD B2C still in preview, that could be a problem, nevertheless success cases like Real Madrid could give you confidence about to embrace the technology even in early states.
