I'm building an app that has a large social component to it but that's not the point of it. I'm not interested in building the next Facebook, or even an app with all the features of Facebook.<p>Is there any way I can build my app, let people have their profiles, friends, privacy settings etc all in my database but somehow integrate with MySpace, Bebo, Facebook and let people keep the majority of the social network malarky there?<p>I'm not entirely sure what I mean, it's much bigger than just a Facebook app and I need to store the information locally (like name, username, password, email etc) but I'd love to tap into people's networks stored elsewhere.<p>Any ideas? Thanks!
Can you just use those as a "Contacts" base? Think of those networks just as sources for contacts.<p>Let users, point to a network with their profiles as a source for contacts. Allowing for many of these to be setup, i.e. one for each network/profile so a user can even use multiple accounts on a network (if they have that). Also allow for your own internal contacts base that is NOT hooked up to a social network.
