1. A method comprising:
- receiving inputs operable to initiate online communications from a user profile to another user profile on a dating website;
storing, in a memory, a log of the online communications in user profile data associated with the user profile;
generating an interactive graph to increase the online communications by the user profile based on benchmarks of success on the dating website, the benchmarks of success comprising a time-dependent goal,the generating the interactive graph comprising;
generating the time-dependent goal comprising a target number of winks, favorites, emails, and likes to initiate from the user profile toward other user profiles on the dating website within a period of time, anddetermining a result based on comparing, by an analysis system, the log of the online communications in the user profile data with the target number of winks, favorites, emails, and likes of the time-dependent goal, the result comprising a deficit in a number of winks, favorites, emails, and likes initiated from the user profile based on the time-dependent goal, wherein the deficit is measured within a sliding time window of the user profile data, and the sliding time window corresponds to the period of time specified in the time-dependent goal and is measured relative to a current date; and
increasing the online communications by the user profile based on the benchmarks of success on the dating website by;
displaying the interactive graph based on the result,the interactive graph comprising;
a graphical representation of the deficit in the number of winks, favorites, emails, and likes initiated from the user profile relative to the time-dependent goal, anda button operable to generate an interface for transmitting an email to a different user profile based on the time-dependent goal; and
transmitting, via the interface, the email to the different user profile based on the time-dependent goal, wherein the transmitting the email decreases the deficit and increases the online communications by the user profile based on the benchmarks of success.

Abstract
Methods and systems for user communication in an online community and/or website are provided. User profile data may be accessed to from a memory. An analysis system compares the user profile data for the user with a time-dependent goal to determine a result. The time-dependent goal may be determined based on an analysis of a set of (successful) users. A user interface system generates a representation of the result for prompting the user to initiate a communication to a different user based on the time-dependent goal. The representation may comprise a metered representation indicating an amount of progress, by the user, toward the time-dependent goal.
