1. A data aggregation server adapted to establish one or more publication links between users of an information service, comprising:

  • a memory operable to host personal information associated with the users of the information service, the personal information including data indicating one or more communities of which a user is a part and further including data indicating one or more publication links that have been established between users; and

    a hardware processor operable to;

    pull personal information from an electronic device that is communicatively coupled to the data aggregation server,wherein the pulled personal information includes personal information associated with a first user that was not provided by the first user during a registration process for the information service;

    determine one or more community relationships between the first user and one or more other users,wherein the determination of community relationships is based on a correlation between the personal information of the first user and the personal information of the other users;

    select, from a subset of the other users that do not have an established publication link with the first user, a second user to suggest to the first user,wherein the selection of the second user is based on at least one determined community relationship between the first user and the second user;

    seek to establish a publication link between the first user and the second user by providing a suggestion to the first user via a client software application associated with the first user,wherein the suggestion identifies the second user and the publication link defines an association between the first user and the second user such that the first user is provided access to publication information published by the second user and the second user is provided access to publication information published by the first user; and

    after the publication link between the first user and the second user has been established, push publication information published by the second user to the first user via the client software application associated with the first user such that the first user is provided immediate access to the publication information.
