  • Patent number: 8700648
    Abstract: Context based networking. A method for context based networking includes receiving a query. Further, the method includes obtaining behavioral targeting scores of a plurality of first buddy nodes of a node corresponding to the query. Furthermore, the method includes updating the behavioral targeting scores of the plurality of first buddy nodes based on behavioral targeting score of at least one second buddy node of each first buddy node. In addition, the method includes forwarding the query to at least one first buddy node based on the updated behavioral targeting scores. Further, the method includes obtaining a response associated with the query. The method also includes electronically providing the response to a user of the node.
