For instance, if I were to use it on XYZ’s Twitter profile it would be able to tell me what other services he’s using, like FriendFeed, Facebook, Last.fm, and more. The same thing would happen if I checked from his profile on one of those other sites, too.

This extension uses two tools to get the job done: Yahoo Query Language and Google’s Social Graph API. Creator Madgex has use the two tools together to quickly figure out where the profiles are and provide links directly to them.
