- creating, by a service provider system, a plurality of data visualization cards that each include business intelligence data parameters and data visualization parameters, wherein each of the plurality of data visualization cards is created by the service provider system in response to a respective create request received from at least one of a plurality of user accounts, and wherein each of the plurality of data visualization cards is associated with instructions to
1) retrieve business intelligence data from a business intelligence database according to the business intelligence data parameters for that data visualization card and
2) transform the retrieved business intelligence data using the data visualization parameters for that data visualization card such that each data visualization card is configured to be displayed as a separate virtual object that provides the graphical representation of the retrieved business intelligence data for that data visualization card;
associating, by the service provider system in a card database, each data visualization card with the user account that requested the creation of that data visualization card;
associating, by the service provider system in the card database, data visualization cards with user accounts, which did not request the creation of those data visualization cards, in response to a collect request received from those user accounts;
creating, by the service provider system, a social network amongst the plurality of user accounts using the data visualization cards such that user accounts associated with data visualization cards created from common business intelligence data are linked in the social network; and
transmitting, by the service provider system, a first data visualization card that is associated with instructions to
1) retrieve business intelligence data from a business intelligence database according to first business intelligence data parameters for the first data visualization card and
2) transform the retrieved first business intelligence data into a graphical representation of the retrieved first business intelligence data using first data visualization parameters for the first data visualization card such that the first data visualization card is configured to be displayed as a separate virtual object that provides the graphical representation of the retrieved first business intelligence data, which was created by the service provider system in response to a create request received from a first user account, to a second user account in response to determining that the first user account and the second user account are linked in the social network due to their association with data visualization cards created from common business intelligence data.

Abstract
A method for sharing business intelligence information includes creating a plurality of data visualization cards from business intelligence data in response to create requests from a plurality of user accounts. Each data visualization card is associated with the user account that requested its creation. Data visualization cards are also associated with user accounts that did not request their creation in response to collect requests from those user accounts. A social network is created amongst the user accounts using the data visualization cards such that user accounts associated with data visualization cards created from common business intelligence data are linked. A first data visualization card that was created in response to a create request from a first user account may then be provided to a second user account in response to determining that the first user account and the second user account are linked in the social network.
