Abstract: A system, a machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions, and a computer-implemented method described herein are directed to a Quality Endorsement Engine. The Quality Endorsement Engine extracts content portions from content, accessible on a social network service, associated with a first member account. The Quality Endorsement Engine identifies at least one pre-defined skills identifier that corresponds to a respective topic of a respective content portion. The Quality Endorsement Engine determines that a second member account satisfies at least one quality endorser requirement with respect to the first member account. The Quality Endorsement Engine generates an endorsement prompt for the second member account. The Quality Endorsement Engine causes concurrent display of the content and the endorsement prompt in a social network content feed of the second member account in a user interface of a client device associated with the second member account.

Abstract: In some embodiments, social activity data corresponding to a first user and a second user of an online social networking service is accessed, with the social activity data comprising one or more signals, and with each of the one or more signals indicating a corresponding activity of the first user with respect to the second user, and a relationship temperature value for the first user is calculated based on the social activity data, with the calculating of the relationship temperature value comprising weighting each of the one or more signals inversely proportional to an amount of time that has elapsed since the corresponding activity of the corresponding signal has occurred. The relationship temperature value is stored in a database in association with the first user or a function of the online social networking service is performed based on the relationship temperature value.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a relationship temperature value for a first user of an online social networking service is accessed or received. The relationship temperature value indicates a measurement of activity of the first user with respect to one or more other users of the online social networking service. In some example embodiments, a function of the online social networking service is performed based on the relationship temperature value. In some example embodiments, the function comprises generating content for display to the first user.
