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?
