Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for determining social networking or messaging user affinity and engagement coefficients (e.g., a measure of the connectedness between two people in a network). The described techniques are particularly well-suited to cases in which only limited information is available, such as when a new user joins a network and only the user's contacts list is available. The available information may be used to determine a group of existing users to which the new user is connected. Some embodiments relate to calculating scores among these existing users in order to infer an affinity for the new user to the existing users. Other embodiments involve calculating bilateral scores that reflect a degree of mutual affinity between two users.

Abstract: Techniques for prospective contact ranking of address book entries are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a client front-end component operative to receive a prospective contact display prompt from a client application on a client device, the client application associated with a user account; receive an address book from the client device, the address book comprising a plurality of address book entries; and send the ordered prospective contact list to the client application on the client device; a prospective contact list component operative to determine a prospective contact list based on the address book, the prospective contact list comprising a plurality of prospective contacts; and a contact ranking component operative to determine a ranking weight for each of the plurality of prospective contacts; and generate an ordered prospective contact list by ordering the prospective contact list based on the ranking weights. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Techniques for device configuration of prospective contacts using messaging history information are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a client front-end component operative to receive a client inbox request for a user account from a client device, the user account for a communication system; and send an ordered prospective contact list to the client device in response to the client inbox request; a prospective contact list component operative to generate a prospective contact list for a user account, wherein generating the prospective contact list for the user account excludes any existing contacts from an existing contact list for the user account; a predicted interest component operative to determine a predicted communication interest for each prospective contact on the prospective contact list; and a contact ranking component operative to determine a ranking weight for each prospective contact on the prospective contact list. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
