Abstract:

A system and a method are disclosed for creating a default network from a social network computing system. The default network contains user profiles of users who have one or more attributes in common. The attributes on which a default network is based may be chosen for users or may be chosen by users according to interest. A default network is used to suggest that a user having a user profile in the default network establish a connection with another user whose user profile is in the same default network. Users with user profiles in the same default network may participate in interactions such as making referrals, sharing content, and posing questions. User profiles in a default network may be filtered for display according to characteristics of user profiles.

Abstract:

A system and a method are disclosed for computing a reputation score for user profiles of a social network according to actions taken by user profiles of the social network. The reputation score may be based on interactions of a user profile with a content item or based on interactions of user profiles with other user profiles.
