Inferring user preferences from an internet based social interactive construct
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- comparing a first user preference profile of a first user of an online social network and a second user preference profile of a second user of an online social network, the first user preference profile indicating preferences of the first user and the second user preference profile indicating preferences of the second user;
determining, one or more hardware processors, that the second user is similar to the first user, based on the comparison;
notifying the first user that the second user is similar to the first user; and
prompting the first user to connect to the second user via the online social network.

Abstract
In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for a computer program product embodied in a computer readable medium that, when executing on one or more computers, helps determine an unknown user'"'"'s preferences through the use of internet based social interactive graphical representations on a computer facility by performing the steps of (1) ascertaining preferences of a plurality of users who are part of an inter-net based social interactive construct, wherein the plurality of users become a plurality of known users; (2) determining the internet based social interactive graphical representation for the plurality of known users; and (3) inferring the preferences of an unknown user present in the interact based social interactive graphical representation of the plurality of known users based on the interrelationships between the unknown user and the plurality of known users within the graphical representation.
