METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SHARING CONTENT
First Claim
1. One or more tangible computer-readable storage media storing computer executable instructions for performing a computer process on a computing system, the computer process comprising:
- graphically representing one or more members of a user'"'"'s network together with a content;
receiving a user input from the user with respect to the graphical representation of the content, the user input having a directionality; and
communicating the content to a member of the user'"'"'s network represented by a direction represented by the directionality.

Abstract
A method disclosed herein includes graphically representing one or more members of a user'"'"'s network together with a content, receiving a user input from the user with respect to the graphical representation of the content, the user input having a directionality, and communicating the content to a member of the user'"'"'s network represented by a direction represented by the directionality. An implementation of the method further allows the members of the user'"'"'s network to lend, share, and/or gift resources to each other using a graphical user interface. Yet alternative implementation of the method allows displaying the member network at different prominence levels in response to a user input on the graphical user interface.

12. One or more tangible computer-readable storage media storing computer executable instructions for performing a computer process on a computing system, the computer process comprising:
-
graphically representing one or more members of a user'"'"'s network together with a content and a graphical representation of a resource; receiving an input from the user with respect to the graphical representation of the resource, the input having a directionality; communicating the resource to a member of the user'"'"'s network displayed in a direction represented by the directionality; and modifying the graphical representation of the resource to show the resource being unavailable to a user. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. One or more tangible computer-readable storage media storing computer executable instructions for performing a computer process on a computing system, the computer process comprising:
-
graphically representing a content and a member network using graphical representation of one or more members of the member network, wherein the graphical representation of the member network is at an initial prominence level compared to the content; receiving a user input from a user with respect to the graphical representation of the content; and in response to the user input, displaying the member network at a prominence level higher than the initial prominence level with respect to the graphical representation of the content. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
