  • Social graphing for data handling and delivery
    Patent number: 8880620
    Abstract: Architecture that enables data handling according to types of social relationships.

The social graph can include social relationship categories for friends, family, coworkers, and blocked individuals of the recipient, for example. The social graph can also include metadata related to the tagged users. The metadata defines the social relationship of the tagged users to the recipient.
