The application may be configured to collect information from a website displayed in a web browser on the user's computer system, determine if the information includes a second one of the plurality of users, and display on the user's computer system one or more instances of interaction between the first user and the second user that are stored in the database. The application may be configured to operate with one or both of social media network websites and non-social-media network websites.

Abstract: A system and methods are disclosed for determining the ideal times for a person, software client, or other entity to post a message to a social networking site. An ideal time is a time when the post will have a maximum impact, where impact is some measure of success as defined by the posting entity. To determine the ideal times, the posting patterns of individual users are aggregated in a weighted fashion, taking into consideration both the entity's desired impact and the likelihood that the user will be online and able to view the post within a specified time frame.
