1. A computer-implemented method of distributing digital content, comprising:
- extracting a plurality of content topics from a piece of digital content created by a first user;
identifying, for each of a plurality of users in a social network including the first user, user topics based on user activities for each respective one of the plurality of users;
generating a user score, for each of the plurality of users, based upon;
one of the user topics matching one of the plurality of content topics,a type of user activity associated with the one of the user topics, anda number of user activities associated with the one of the user topics;
generating a social score for a particular user of the plurality of users from a social graph that includes the first user and the plurality of users;
modifying the user score, for each of the plurality of users, with the social score respectively associated with each user to generate a modified user score;
sorting the plurality of users using the modified users scores for the plurality of users; and
sending the digital content to particular ones of the plurality of users based upon the sorting, wherein the digital content is sent to the particular ones of the plurality of users based upon the particular ones of the plurality of users having user scores that exceed a threshold user score.

Abstract
Examples of techniques for sharing content based on topics are described herein. A method includes extracting a content topic from a piece of content. The method includes extracting a user topic based on a user activity. The method also includes matching the content topic with the user topic and generating a user score based on a detected number activities a user performs that include a matched user topic. The method further includes generating a sorted list of users with matched user topics, the list to be sorted by the user score.
