1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

  • for each user identity within a set of multiple user identities of an electronic social networking platform, extracting, from the electronic social networking platform, data associated with the user identity within the electronic social networking platform;

    classifying at least some of the user identities within the set of multiple user identities as fitting one or more of multiple different profiles based on the data extracted from the electronic social networking platform;

    receiving, from a user, an indication of a selection of a first e of the multiple different profiles;

    receiving, from a user, an indication of a selection of a second one of the multiple different profiles;

    identifying a first subset of user identities classified as fitting the first profile;

    identifying a second subset of user identities classified as fitting the second profile;

    identifying values for a particular characteristic associated with user identities identified as belonging to the first subset based on the data extracted from the electronic social networking platform;

    identifying values for the particular characteristic associated with user identities identified as belonging to the second subset based on the data extracted from the electronic social networking platform;

    identifying values for the particular characteristic associated with user identities from the set of multiple user identities based on the data extracted from the social networking platform;

    determining, for each value of the particular characteristic, a percentage of user identities identified as belonging to the first subset associated with the value of the particular characteristic;

    determining, for each value of the particular characteristic, a percentage of user identities identified as belonging to the second subset associated with the value of the particular characteristic;

    determining, for each value of the particular characteristic, a percentage of user identities identified as belonging to the set of multiple user identities associated with the value of the particular characteristic; and

    causing a display that reflects a comparison between (i) the percentage of user identities identified as belonging to the first subset associated with each value of the particular characteristic, (ii) the percentage of user identities identified as belonging to the second subset associated with each value of the particular characteristic, and (iii) the percentage of user identities identified as belonging to the set of multiple user identities associated with each value of the particular characteristic.
