COMPUTER IMPLEMENTED METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DEFINING GROUPS OF USERS OF AN ONLINE SOCIAL NETWORK
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for defining groups of users of an online social network, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a computing device, an indication of an event associated with the online social network;
comparing one or more parameters to an attribute of the event or of a designated user, the parameters being stored on a storage medium of the online social network;
determining that the attribute satisfies the one or more parameters;
generating data indicating the designated user; and
providing the generated data to a display device configured to display a presentation in a user interface, the presentation indicating an addition or a removal of the designated user as one of a plurality of members of a group of the online social network, the group members identified by group membership data stored on a storage medium of the online social network.

Abstract
Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for defining groups of users of an online social network. An indication of an event associated with the online social network can be received. One or more parameters can be compared to an attribute of the event or of a designated user. When the attribute satisfies the one or more parameters, data indicating the designated user can be generated. In some implementations, the generated data is provided to a display device to indicate an addition or a removal of the designated user as a member of a group of the online social network. In some implementations, group membership data can be determined and stored to add or remove the designated user as one of the group members.
