Reminder – Problem Domain Many users are members on various social networks.  Maintain his information on the separate networks.  Deal with ambiguities and inconsistencies within his data.  Waste a lot of time and effort in order to organize his online social life. In general, social networks are not willing to share their data outside of the web site since their main purpose is that users will stay connected to their site getting their data as long as possible. Thus, getting this data from the social network to an outside application is not an easy task to perform.
