Summary:A method and system for automatically synchronizing a connection to a new contact across a plurality of social networking websites. A repository stores a first user's profile that includes the first user's identifiers for multiple social networking websites (SNs) and the first user's master list of contacts. An alert is presented to the first user, where the alert indicates a request from a second user to establish a connection in a first SN between the first user and the second user. The first user approves the request to establish the connection in the first SN. If a search of the repository finds the second user's profile, then (1) connection(s) between the first user and second user are established in other social networking websites in which said first user participates and (2) the second user is added to the first user's master list of contacts.
