How does this work?
Anyone having an account at one of the indicated social networking sites who has at least 50 friends may add/edit the documentation of this project. If you don't have an account at one of these services; please create one, make enough friends and come back here to connect.

Else, you will be asked to first login into your network using a pop-up window. The login will only happen through your social networking site. For e.g. If you were connecting to Facebook, the address bar of the pop-up window will display Facebook's address.
Note: You may be asked some questions when you login for the first time. You would also be required to agree to the terms and conditions of the service provider.
Additionally, you may see some reference to Gigya; the aggregating service that gives us this functionality.
