Patent attributes
A system and method for sharing user-generated content to external social networks from a primary social network by treating them as contacts is disclosed. The system includes an authenticator, a contact generator, a link establisher, and a content copier. The authenticator receives an address and user credentials for external social network websites. The contact generator generates virtual contacts for each of the external social networks. The link establisher identifies external social networks targeted for sharing on the primary social network and creates a link to the accounts. The content copier modifies user-generated content on the primary social network to match native settings on the external social network accounts before posting to them.
