Importing LinkedIn Contacts

rubyonrails-talk

Hi,

After an user signs up in my website, I have to

1. Give him a linkedin button, clicking it the user will be redirected to linkedin website for authentication. 2. once Authenticated and user returns back to my webpage, I need to import the user's contacts from Linkedin. 3. Display the users's linkedin contacts in a page. 4. User selects some contacts and clicking submit, will send a invite message to those selected contacts.

Is there any Gem or plugin in rails 3 to achieve this?
