Abstract: Techniques for use in adding contacts between profiles of different social networks are described. For each candidate contact in a first profile, the technique involves identifying, for a selected attribute type, whether a match exists between a stored attribute of the candidate contact and a stored attribute of a contact in a second profile.                                                                If the match exists, then the candidate contact is recommended, queued, or added as a contact in the second profile.  Otherwise, if no match exists, then the candidate contact is excluded from being recommended, queued, or added as a contact in the second profile. A learning mechanism may set the operating mode to a recommending mode, a queuing mode, or an adding mode for adding contacts. The operating mode may be set based on predetermined conditions or events, such as when a number of contacts in the first and the second profiles having a common stored attribute exceeds a threshold value.
