1. A social-networking system comprising:
- a network addressable computing system configured to host an online social network, the computing system configured to receive, store, display, and transmit social network information from a body-associated client device, the social network information comprising physiologic or ingestion information, each of the physiologic or ingestion information obtained from the body-associated client device, the computing system comprising;
a processor coupled to a memory, the memory comprising machine executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to;
receive communications from one or more body-associated client devices, each communication including social network information identifying a user associated with one of the one or more body-associated client devices, the social network information obtained from each user by way of electrodes electrically coupled to a body of said user;
detect the physiologic information or ingestion information associated with each user, each of the physiologic information or ingestion information generated by an ingestible event marker ingested by said user;
associate each of the one or more body-associated client devices with a respective user account of one or more user accounts of the social-networking system, wherein each of the one or more user accounts correspond to a respective user of the social-networking system; and
generate a user profile of each user associated with the respective body-associated client device of the one or more body-associated client devices, each user profile comprising the physiologic information, if detected, or the ingestion information, if detected.

5. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a social-networking system, communications from one or more body-associated client devices, each communication including information identifying a user associated with one of the one or more body-associated client devices, the user identifying information comprising physiologic or ingestion information, each of the physiologic or ingestion information obtained from each user by way of electrodes electrically coupled to a body of said user; detecting physiologic information or ingestion information associated with each user, each of the physiologic information or the ingestion information generated by an ingestible event marker ingested by said user; associating each of the one or more body-associated client devices with a respective user account of one or more user accounts of the social-networking system, wherein each of the one or more user accounts correspond to a respective user of the social-networking system; and generating a user profile of each user associated with the respective body-associated client device of the one or more body-associated client devices, each user profile comprising at least one of the physiologic information, if detected, or the ingestion information, if detected. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A receiver comprising:
-
a body-associated client device comprising; one or more electrodes configured to be electrically coupled to a body of a user for detecting at least one of physiological or ingestion information, each of the physiologic information or ingestion information generated by an ingestible event marker ingested by the user, wherein the user is associated with the body-associated client device; a processor coupled to a non-transitory memory and to the one or more electrodes, wherein the non-transitory memory comprises machine executable instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to determine the identity of the user based on the at least one of physiological or ingestion information; wherein; the processor of the body-associated client device is configured to communicate the at least one of physiologic or ingestion information to a social-networking system comprising a network addressable computing system configured to host an online social network, the computing system configured to receive, store, display, and transmit the at least one of physiologic or ingestion information from the body-associated client device; the computing system is configured to associate the body-associated client device with a user account of the social-networking system and to generate a user profile associated with the body-associated client device; and the user profile comprises the at least one of physiologic or ingestion information. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
