VISUALIZATION OF THE REACH OF A POST BY A MEMBER OF AN ON-LINE SOCIAL NETWORKING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- detecting a post created by a focus member of an on-line social networking system;
selecting, from the two or more posts, a post associated recent activity;
accessing events data associated with one or more events with respect to the post;
generating, using at least one processor, a visualization of the events data, the visualization of the events data indicating;
a number of responses to the post, andconnection distances of respective members of the on-line social network associated with the one or more events, a connection distance from the connection distances indicating a degree of association between a member of the on-line social networking system and the focus member; and
causing displaying of the visualization of the events data on a display device of a client system by communicating the visualization of the events data to the client system.

Abstract
A system for visualizing the reach of a post by a member of an on-line social networking system may be designed to increase awareness of the members, as to which degree their posted updates are noticed and reacted to by other members. When a member creates a post, either through the on-line social networking website itself or through an application programming interface (API) that allows to include a share user interface (UI) control on a third web party site, the system monitors events associated with the post, collects statistics with respect to the monitored events and uses this data to generate a visualization of the reach of that post. Example visualization provides the creator of the post a sense of how many other members interacted with the post.

11. A computer-implemented system comprising:
-
a detector, implemented using at least one processor, to detect a post created by a focus member of an on-line social networking system; a selector, implemented using at least one processor, to select, from the two or more posts, a post associated recent activity; events data access module, implemented using at least one processor, to access events data associated with one or more events with respect to the post; a visualization generator, implemented using at least one processor, to generate a visualization of the events data, the visualization of the events data indicating; a number of responses to the post, and connection distances of respective members of the on-line social network associated with the one or more events, a connection distance from the connection distances indicating a degree of association between a member of the on-line social networking system and the focus member; and a visualization delivery module, implemented using at least one processor, to cause displaying of the visualization of the events data on a display device of a client system by communicating the visualization of the events data to the client system. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A machine-readable non-transitory storage medium having instruction data to cause a machine to perform operations comprising:
-
detecting a post created by a focus member of an on-line social networking system; selecting, from the two or more posts, a post associated recent activity; accessing events data associated with one or more events with respect to the post; generating, using at least one processor, a visualization of the events data, the visualization of the events data indicating; a number of responses to the post, and connection distances of respective members of the on-line social network associated with the one or more events, a connection distance from the connection distances indicating a degree of association between a member of the on-line social networking system and the focus member; and causing displaying of the visualization of the events data on a display device of a client system by communicating the visualization of the events data to the client system.
