Web 2.0 applications such as blogs, bookmarking, music, photo and video sharing systems are among the most popular; and all of them incorporate a social aspect, i.e., users can easily share information with other users. But due to the diversity of these applications -- serving different aims -- the Social Web is ironically divided. Blog users who write about music for example, could possibly benefit from other users registered in other social systems operating within the same domain, such as a social radio station. Although these sites are two different and disconnected systems, offering distinct services to the users, the fact that domains are compatible could benefit users from both systems with interesting and multi-faceted information. In this paper we propose to automatically establish social links between distinct social systems through cross-tagging, i.e., enriching a social system with the tags of other similar social system(s).
