Abstract

A method can include creating an instance of a modeling application for a project and rendering an associated user interface to a display; accessing user identity data associated with the project; accessing social network data for one or more social network member profiles, optionally based on the user identity data; rendering accessed social network data to the display; receiving an instruction via the user interface; and accessing additional social network data responsive to receipt of the instruction. Various other apparatuses, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

creating an instance of a geomodeling application for a project and rendering an associated user interface to a display;

accessing user identity data associated with the project;

accessing social network data for one or more social network member profiles based on the user identity data;

rendering accessed social network data to the display;

receiving an instruction via the user interface; and

accessing additional social network data responsive to receipt of the instruction.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the accessing social network data comprises accessing a database that comprises social network data associated with the user identity data.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the accessing social network data comprises accessing the Internet to access social network data based on the user identity data.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the accessing additional social network data responsive to receipt of the instruction comprises accessing a database that comprises social network data associated with the user identity data.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the accessing additional social network data responsive to receipt of the instruction comprises accessing a website for the social network via the Internet.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising accessing object property data associated with the project;

and accessing social network data for one or more social network member profiles based at least in part on the object property data.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving one or more search criteria associated with the project;

and accessing social network data for one or more social network member profiles based at least in part on the one or more search criteria.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein the accessing social network data for one or more social network member profiles based on the user identity data comprises accessing social network data based on a degree of relationship between members and a member associated with the user identity data.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the accessing social network data for one or more social network member profiles based on the user identity data comprises accessing social network data based on organizational affiliation between members and a member associated with the user identity data.

10. One or more computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions to instruct a computer to:

access user identity data for a project associated with a geomodeling application;

access the Internet to retrieve social network data for one or more social network member profiles based on the user identity data;

store the retrieved social network data in association with the user identity data; and

generate an interface to receive a call from an instance of the geomodeling application and to return stored social network data responsive to the call.

11. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 10 comprising computer-executable instructions to instruct a computer to parse a call for user identity data and to access the stored, retrieved social network data based on the user identity data.

12. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 10 comprising computer-executable instructions to instruct a computer to parse a call for user identity data and to access the Internet to retrieve social network data based on the user identity data.

13. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 10 comprising computer-executable instructions to instruct a computer to generate an interface to receive a call from an instance of the geomodeling application and to access a social network website via the Internet responsive to the call.

14. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 10 comprising computer-executable instructions to instruct a computer to build a group profile for a project based on social network member profiles.

15. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 10 comprising computer-executable instructions to instruct a computer to, responsive to a call, return a member ranking that ranks members of the social network based on information communicated by the call.

16. One or more computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions to instruct a computer to:

receive input via a graphical user interface for a project associated with a geomodeling application;

retrieve social network data for one or more social network member profiles responsive to receipt of the input; and

render a ranking of member profiles.

17. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 16 comprising computer-executable instructions to instruct a computer to access a member profile responsive to receipt of an instruction that selects one of the member profiles of the ranking.

18. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 16 further comprising computer-executable instructions to instruct a computer to broadcast a message to a microblog.

19. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 16 comprising computer-executable instructions to instruct a computer to render a graphical menu that lists search options as inputs.

20. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 16 comprising computer-executable instructions to instruct a computer to provide an object property as an input.
