SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTEGRATING INFORMATION FROM VOICE OVER INTERNET PROTOCOL SYSTEMS AND SOCIAL NETWORKING SYSTEMS

摘要

Systems and methods of recommending that two people form a link on a social networking system use information for a first person that is obtained from a contact list or an address book that is maintained for the first person on a telephony system. The information drawn from the first person's contact list or address book is used to determine if any individuals or businesses listed in the first person's contact list or address book are members of a social networking system. If so, a recommendation that the first person form a link on the social networking system with those individuals or businesses is issued to one or both parties.
