After Googling around I still can't find an appropriate answer to my problem. Let me explain:
I'm creating a WordPress-based site where users will create accounts and login. I allow them to login with Facebook (or Twitter, or G+) and the plugin I'm using (Simple Facebook Connect) creates the user in wp_users table.
Now, I would like to let this user "connect" another social network, Twitter for example. Obviously, if the user logs out and back in with another social network, it creates another profile, and this is understandable.
So, how do I connect another social networks to my existing user? Does Anyone know a plugin which allows this?
Thank you.

I am developing a website for our GTA Online Crew, basically a gaming community, my issue lies in verifying that they are the user they say they are when they register (For example if there username on social club is GTOFAN01, we want to ensure that person uses the same username on our site when they register).
As we want all website users to have the same names from social club (owned by Rockstar and I have no way to change anything on there end...) to our website to avoid confusion / posers / trolls etc.
I've had a few ideas but they all create a lot of manual work or I am not sure how to implement, but I have narrowed it down...
Let anyone register and then manually send them a confirmation code through social club to the account name they have said they are.
somehow find out who they are currently logged in as on social club, if this matches the name they supplied then let them in.
find someway to send a message to there social club message box
2 is by far the best, but I can figure out a way to achieve it... I cannot read cookies or session variables from another domain.
Any ideas?
There are several different ways of achieving "federated identity". I would recommend taking a look at OAuth and OpenId. Asp.net Identity has OAuth integration.

What's the difference between OpenID and OAuth?
The way I ended up going was generating a random qoute for the user to post on the social club (checking it didn't exist first), as the social club feed is public I can then check to see if the qoute was posted and by whom, if this matches who they told us they were then there registration is accepted.
Obviously this is not the greatest solution, but it works and as I've stated I have no control over the social club nor do they offer any way to authenticate a user.
The other befit to this method is it encourages use of the feed which we also wanted to do.
How do I do that since almost everyone uses dynamic IP?
It changes everytime the users connect to the internet...
I wanna know if an user visited my site yesterday and today. How do I do that?
Integrate an analytics library like mixpanel and create javascript events to keep track of your users new or returning. That will be a better approach.
I have a requirement in our sign up screen wherein we ask the user if they want to use their facebook profile for sign up. The process we are thinking is when the user logs in facebook or allow us to access their data. I will just pull the name, e-mail, address and save those things in our database as in creating an account base on their facebook data.
I'm confused on how to start it so does anybody can point me or have sample code how to do this?
Thanks.
I hope this article will give you the direction:

Is it possible to access a mobile users phone contacts from a web page? The company I work for would like to use QR codes to direct people to a coupon on their website and then give viewers the option of sending the url to their friends in a text message.
Obviously this would be an opt in service. Perhaps you would need to build a mobile application to accomplish the task? If anyone has an idea on how to accomplish this or something similar please let me know.
As far as I know, it is not possible to access the contact database via a web page, on any of the major platforms; in order to access this data, a native application is required.
Nate is right.
The only thing that you can do (that won't accomplish everything you need) is encode SMS message in QR code (e.g. "sms:number:subject" see http://code.google.com/p/zxing/wiki/BarcodeContents), this way your company will get user's phone number as part of SMS message, but not numbers of his/her friends.
An API for accessing contacts is being built into the WebApi by Mozilla but as of today it's not enabled by default and I expect cross browser support is still far off.
I want to provide chat facility to my website visitors. This should be same as google chat (person to person communication). Are there any free tools available to integrate in the website? Or is there any way that we can use Google Chat's API and can integrate in our website?
Pls help me.
You can embed google chat into your web page, instructions here
I think a reasonable approach would involve opening an iframe that talks to a dynamic page. The dynamic page would be auto-refreshed by two or more clients and continously post to/read from a table that stores the ID of the session, timestamp, user name(or IP), and message for the chats. The ID of the session would correspond to the dynamic page ID and bob's your uncle.
I'm sure there are various implementations floating around, but I'd want to control this on my own. No user accounts required if you set it up correctly, thought finding other users may be an issue without accounts.
There are a lot of good embeddable chat widgets you can insert into a page fairly easily that do all the work for you.
I've tried out a few of the ones listed in the link above (mostly MeeboMe and Geesee) and don't have any major complaints. With that many choices you should be able to find one that meets your needs. Most don't even require a login.
