  • Publication number: 20150356449
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for identifying a location interest inference for a first user. A first set of user signals (e.g., search history, social network posts, etc.) associated with the first user may be evaluated to identify a first user location interest pattern indicative of location interests of the first user. Social signals (e.g., phone calls, emails, photo tags, shared content, etc.) between the first user and other users may be evaluated to identify a second user having a social activity relevance score above a relationship threshold with respect to the first user. A second user location interest pattern may be generated for the second user based upon user signals associated with the second user. The first user location interest pattern and the second user location interest pattern may be aggregated to create the location interest inference indicative of refined locational interests of the first user.

  • Publication number: 20130085844
    Abstract: Online sellers may be ranked based on feedback given by people trusted by an individual user. The user may trust people in their social networks, as well as people who may be experts in a particular field, and the seller's ranking may be calculated by weighting reviews or feedback from trusted people higher than people unknown to the user. When used with a social campaign management system, ranking of products from multiple online sellers may include coupons or incentives that are available through the user's social network, as well as discounts or incentives that may be targeted to the user's status within their own social network.
