1. A method for recommending an out-of-network communication recipient, the method comprising:
- determining a set of potential recommended members of a social networking service;
determining for each particular member in the set of potential recommended members;
a profile similarity score, the profile similarity score indicating a measure of how similar the particular member is to a previous target member of an out-of-network communication of the sending member; and
a responsiveness score based upon the particular member'"'"'s level of activity on the social networking service;
determining a set of recommended members from the set of potential recommended members based upon the responsiveness scores and the profile similarity scores of the members in the set of potential recommended members;
presenting the set of recommended members to a sending member; and
sending an out-of-network communication to a selected member of the set of recommended member from the sending member.

Abstract
Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems and machine readable medium for recommending an out-of-network communication by determining a set of potential recommended members of a social networking service based upon one or more recommendation criteria. In some examples the recommendation criteria may include: a profile similarity to a previous target of an out-of-network communication, a degree of correspondence between an interest and intent of the sending member, and a likelihood of response.
