A system and method for determining matching pairs between social networks is disclosed. The system comprises a matching module that includes an account retrieval engine, candidate pairing module, a match determination module, a social network engine, a personalizing engine and a graphical user interface engine. The candidate pairing module generates candidate pairs of accounts from different social networks that may represent the same user. The match pairing module generates scores for the pairs. The match determination module determines a subset of the pairs that most likely represent the same users.
