CREATING A CONTACT LIST AND PRE-POPULATED USER ACCOUNTS

Systems and methods are disclosed for creating a contact list and pre-populated user accounts. An existing contact list associated with a first user is imported at a computer system. A second contact list is created for the first user for a user account associated with a social network service wherein the second contact list comprises members from the existing contact list. Members of the existing contact list whom already have a user account with the social network service are filtered into a first category. Members of the existing contact list whom do not have a user account with the social network service are filtered into a second category. Pre-populated user accounts associated with the social network service are created for the members in the second category.
