Grab more contacts – ContactGrabber does 10 sites now

with 10 comments

Attention: Contact Grabber is not actively maintained anymore. We recommend OpenInviter instead. OpenInviter supports more sites and is in active development.

The latest version of our GPL product ContactGrabber now allows you to fetch contacts from 10 different sites.

  • AOL (new)
  • LinkedIn (new)
  • Lycos (new)
  • IndiaTimes (new)
  • Yahoo
  • Orkut
  • Gmail
  • Rediff
  • Hotmail
  • Myspace

ContactGrabber allows you to retrieve the address book contact information from various sites. If you are developing a site and need your users to import their contacts from other sites, or recommend you to their contacts, this is a great solution!

ContactGrabber is developed in PHP and is released under GPL.

Note: As of now, Gmail has an issue with some email accounts. They are moving accounts from one server to another and that’s what is causing the problem. This should be corrected soon.

Download ContactGrabber from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/contactgrabber

The code has been contributed by Magnet’s Mumbai and Ahmedabad teams! Great work guys!
