Patent Images
1. A method for tracking the dynamic influence of an entity operating within a social network with a processor, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a query comprising social network content;
searching a database for entries referencing the social network content;
identifying an interaction between an entity participating within the social network and the social network content, wherein the interaction occurs within a specified time window;
identifying a query specific dynamic interaction network (DIN) comprising a plurality of said entities; and
calculating a dynamic influence score for an entity in the query specific DIN.

Abstract
An engine and method for tracking the influence of an entity operating within a social network are presented. A query containing social network content is received. A database for entries referencing the social network content is searched, and interactions between an entity participating within the social network and the social network content are identified. A dynamic interaction network (DIN) of a plurality of the entities is identified and a dynamic influence score for an entity in the query specific DIN is calculated.
