Abstract: A system and method for providing a networked address book may comprise, for a plurality of users, associating each user's identification with a respective list of contact identifications. A processor may receive a search query from a first user regarding a business. The processor may, based on the search query, retrieve at least one business contact, wherein the retrieved business contact is relevant to the search query and is in a list of contact identifications associated with a second user. The second user may be in the first user's network, wherein the first user's network comprises user identifications in a list of contact identifications associated with the first user. The retrieved business contacts may further be based on community recommendations or ratings and associated with other users that are outside of the first user's network.
