10. A network element, comprising:
-
a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising; responsive to a selection from among a list of members of a social network, facilitating establishing a communication session that includes exchanging communications between a first member device and a second member device, wherein the second member device is indicated in the selection, wherein the first and second member devices are associated via the social network, and wherein the social network comprises a social network application which has selective accessibility for member devices and which is managed by a social network server; receiving, as a captured speech message, a speech message that is captured by a speech capture element in accordance with a pattern of prior speech messages, wherein the speech capture element is part of the first member device; transmitting, to the second member device, a message that is representative of the captured speech message; and updating, according to an accuracy of the captured speech message, a user profile, wherein the accuracy of the captured speech message is in relation to a speech capture time period. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
