That does not seem like a module I have seen anywhere so far.  It does seem like something Rodney Joyce (smart-thinker.com) might have played with at some point though.  I also believe that it has been discussed as a Roadmap feature for a future version of Active Social, but that might be more wishful thinking than actual memory.  A simple 'invite a friend' feature could be constructed with Dynamic forms (Data Springs).  But I think you are implying that the user would provide their login information for gmail, hotmail, etc and the module would go pilpher their contacts and build a list of people to send an invite to.  Which does not sound like a trivial effort.  Hopefully I have provided you some leads to track down, but I am looking forward to any other responses people might have to this.  Cheers - Jeremy

I was thinking of writing some sort of contact importer (for use with my league module or to invite to events/the site/groups) but it's a fairly big job. Have you seen this? Easy to implement with a line of JS in a Text module. I think I saw Scott (Ventrian) using it in a module but I can't remember where).

I plan on wrapping this into some of my modules to make it easier to invite people to things but this is a long way off. At the top level I might put it into my Tell a Friend module so that they can add emails quicker...

ps - this is where I saw it, on Scott's Property Agent module. I'm going to intergrate it into my Tell a Friend module I think.

Check out Facebook Contact Importer. I think this is what you are looking for.
