Abstract: Method, apparatus, and a computer-readable storage device for determining similarities. A plurality of sets having social network service members as entities is constructed by associating each of the social network service members with each of a predetermined selection of professional outcomes by school of graduation of the member. One of the plurality of sets is selected. A similarity algorithm calculates the similarity score of at least some of the plurality of sets in the plurality of sets to the selected one of the plurality of sets, and presents for rendering the k sets in the plurality of sets with the highest similarity scores. The similarity algorithm used may be a cosine similarity algorithm using the sets as vectors.

Abstract: A system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and computer-implemented method for presenting a calendar interface is presented. The method may include accessing a set of calendar objects of a user corresponding to calendar events of a user calendar. The calendar events may comprise at least one foreground calendar event for which non-optional user attendance is indicated, and a background calendar event for which optional user attendance is indicated. The method may further include generating a calendar interface with a compressed display of the background calendar event, and an expanded display of the foreground calendar objects.

Abstract: Ranking institutions by creating sub-rankings of desirable outcomes, identifying all members of a social network service who have listed a predetermined indicator in their profile, grouping the members by institution, for each sub-ranking, ordering institutions by the proportion of members achieving the outcome of the sub-ranking, and displaying of the ordered institutions by sub-ranking in an interactive display that enables users to select sub-rankings and view institution ranking within sub-rankings In one embodiment the institutions may be undergraduate schools and the predetermined indicator may be a bachelor degree.
