LanceT Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 How do the sites like Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, etc grab a user's email account (provided that you give you e-mail address and password) to check if they have any pre-existing contacts on their social network? Is there any pre-written scripts that allow me to do this and then search my users database for users that match email account in their address book?

trq Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Email providers like Gmail, Hotmail Yahoo whatever all have API's that programmers can use to access data given sufficient permissions.
