O.P. Contact crawler?
Hi,
I wanted to ask if it exists a contact crawler, to see the contacts of your contacts^^? I need it for windows live messenger, of course.
Thank you
Bye

Sorry, this is impossible I'm afraid, as well as being a breach of privacy.

This is already a feature in Windows Live Messenger...

Always explore software first before making suggestions ;)

The contacts of your contact, who have given their explicit permission to be on your contact's friends list, are viewable by right clicking on the contact in the contact list and choosing View > Friends list.

As fatfreechicken has said, there is no way you can simply view the contacts of a contact without having the permission of those contacts of your contact because that is a very big breach of privacy. Something like that will never ever be implemented...

That would probably be because your friend hasn't given you those permissions. You could either ask him or do nothing about it.

You will be told under the contacts list toolbar, in the yellow field, when you added/got added by/ a friend. You can choose from there :).

I'm not really sure about this, do you see the yellow field?
Otherwise, browse through the Messenger's options (I havn't Messenger running currently, sorry! :().
