Get profile info from Myspace profile
 

What would be really useful would be the ability to import a person's profile from MySpace or other social networking sites. People hate having to re-enter profile information (description about themselves, favourite music, etc) every time they join a new site.

Basically with such a mod the site admin would define which user profile fields on their forum tie up to the related feilds on MySpace profiles. The site admin could choose to have just one or two or loads of feilds imported.

In the userCP provide a "get profile info from Myspace profile" link and then the user inputs their username and vB goes off and grabs the data.

i've also been thinking about this idea..

would like to hear peoples thoughts?

This would be a great idea. It's feasible (i've seen places do it) - I just don't know how (personally) to do it.

If anyone does this - lemme know.

I would love to have this feature. I'm going to keep an eye on this thread in case someone decides to develop this. I'd be willing to donate to this type of add-on.

How many of you are willing to put in some money and how much to get this mod off the ground / put in a 'request for paid services' on this site or put the job out to tender on Elance.
