Would be cool to have an API. Could be useful for mass address book creation.

Faker (for ruby here https://github.com/stympy/faker) originally for perl, available elsewhere also

Nice, anything like this available in Python or C# land? Or even a simple desktop app rather than a webapp?

There's something similar in python https://pypi.python.org/pypi/fake-factory

C# - https://github.com/slashdotdash/faker-cs

Very useful for generating fake data when writing test cases.

I was reminded of this as well.

Who would need mass address books?

People writing address book software.
