Abstract
A method and system of forming smart lists in a geo-spatial social network are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of organizing a community network includes obtaining member data associated with a first member of the community network, determining a first location associated with the first member based on the member data, storing the member data in a member repository, determining a first number of connections associated with the first member, and obtaining a first region of influence for the first member based on the first location and the first number of connections. The method may further include displaying the first region of influence on a geo-spatial map. The method may also include bounding the first region of influence based on a connectedness of the first member in the first region of influence.
