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 responses with respect to the post among members of the on-line social networking system who interacted with the post;
generating, using at least one processor, a visualization of the events data, the visualization of the events data indicating;
numbers of counts for the one or more responses to the post,connection distances of respective members of the on-line social network associated with the one or more responses to the post, a connection distance from the connection distances graphically indicating a degree of association between a member of the on-line social networking system and the focus member, andone or more groups graphically indicating the degree of association based on the connection distances of the respective members of the on-line social network associated with visual indications representing numbers of counts for one or more particular type of the one or more responses to the post; and
causing displaying of the visualization of the events data on a display device of a client.

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.

10. 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 responses with respect to the post among members of the on-line social networking system who interacted with 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; numbers of counts for the one or more responses to the post, connection distances of respective members of the on-line social network associated with the one or more responses to the post, a connection distance from the connection distances graphically indicating a degree of association between a member of the on-line social networking system and the focus member, and one or more groups graphically indicating the degree of association based on the connection distances of the respective members of the on-line social network associated with visual indications representing numbers of counts for one or more particular type of the one or more responses to the post; 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 (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. 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 responses with respect to the post among members of the on-line social networking system who interacted with the post;generating a visualization of the events data, the visualization of the events data indicating; numbers of counts for the one or more responses to the post, connection distances of respective members of the on-line social network associated with the one or more responses to the post, a connection distance from the connection distances graphically indicating a degree of association between a member of the on-line social networking system and the focus member, and one or more groups graphically indicating the degree of association based on the connection distances of the respective members of the on-line social network associated with visual indications representing numbers of counts for one or more particular type of the one or more responses to the post; 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.
