Abstract
Disclosed in one example is a system for providing social networking data including a data store configured to store a user profile associated with a first user and may include a user identification, a first and second social networking user identifier for a first and second social networking service, a first and second connection between a second and third user on the first and second social networking services respectively. The system includes a response module to respond to a request for information from a social networking application with at least a portion of the profile associated with the first user if it is present in the data store. If the profile is not present in the data store, the response module may create a new profile associated with the first user and add it to the data store. The system also includes a synchronization module that may periodically request updated information from the first or second social networking services for the first user and to use the updated information to update the profile associated with the first user.
