Proxy communications on a social network

A system for establishing proxy communications between users on a primary social network, the system comprising:

• a processing unit in the primary social network;
• and
• a system memory, wherein the system memory comprises code configured to direct the processing unit to:
• create an alias for a user on a primary social network when the user logs in to the primary social network, and wherein the alias comprises the user's identity on a secondary social network;
• create a cache configured to hold maps that relate each of a plurality of other users' identities on the primary social network to the other users' identities on a secondary social network, wherein the plurality of other users are friends of the user in the secondary social network;
• and
• directing communications between the user and the other users through the primary social network based, at least in part, on the maps, wherein the communications are configured to appear to have been sent from the secondary social network.

One or more computer-readable storage media, comprising code configured to direct a processing unit to:

• create an alias on a primary social network when a user logs in to the primary social network, and wherein the alias comprises the user's identity on a secondary social network;
• create a cache comprising a map relating a second user's identity on the primary social network to the second user's identity on a secondary social network, wherein the creation of the map is based, at least in part, on the user and the second user being identified as friends in the secondary social network;
• and
• direct communications from the user to the second user through the primary social network based, at least in part, on the map, wherein the communications appear to have been sent from the user's account on the secondary social network.
