I want to do a project for my class that does a people search. I should be able to search into google, Facebook, twitter etc and display information about it. For example, I want to replicate what www.pipl.com does. What would be the best place to start with ? How can you do it ? Any specific/general responses, links or examples are most welcome. Thanks.
EDIT: As this is being voted to close I thought I would be more specific. How can I write a wrapper class (or something of that sort) to mine an website for the information I want?
P.S. I've been a C/C++/java programmer till now and have a strong desire to learn new programming languages. Please feel free to redirect the question or to add tags so other users can also look at the questions.
