   Yes, these kind of tools do add a great value to the social media websites.

   While working with one our clients, we used a similar open source php class/function. Sooner, we found that, the login script/method kept changing for most of the service providers (Gmail, Hotmail, AOL, etc). For sure, these providers dont use the same methods, atleast the login variables are called differently and the contacts are stored different. Particularly, AOL at times have had different scripts for emails with AOL.com & different for AOL.in.

   Since, then have used the contact importer script provided by Svetlozar Petrov (paid service) and they have kept up by giving constant updates in the last year (about one update every two months for each of the email hosts). This is where OpenId / Oauth become more useful.

   This is a interesting concept. If you can integrate a mail() into this, it will be very useful to grabbing contacts from yahoo, msn and gmail.

   I particularly like the way it works with orkut. Thanks a lot of sharing

   great find, but mail services update their site designs from time to time (the for $$$ importer from improsys gets updates every 4-5 months)… I wonder if this class also gets updated when mail services change their sites.
