Abstract: A system and method provide a mechanism for integrating social networks and for integrating voice communication with social networks. This is accomplished by an automatic importation mechanism that unifies data from multiple social networks without user intervention. A process is used that creates a universal identity for a user and a table for cross-referencing all of the user identities in different social networks. In addition, a process allows users linked in one communication mode may communicate in a second communication mode. The system includes software portions for enabling the method.
