摘要： A system, method, and apparatus are provided for distributing a content item toward target recipients solely via first degree connections (e.g., in a professional network, in a social network). For a selected content item and identified target recipients of the item, when a user initiates a message to forward or otherwise convey the content item, one or more schemes are applied to select and automatically populate the message with suitable addressees. In one scheme, values are computed for each neighbor of the sender, to indicate the value of delivering the item to that neighbor; the message is automatically addressed to the highest-value neighbors. In another scheme, user communities that encompass the target recipients are identified and the message is automatically addressed to neighbors that are best able to disseminate the item throughout a community. In another scheme a minimal set of neighbors having connections to all target recipients is identified.

摘要翻译： 提供了一种系统，方法和装置，用于仅通过第一度连接（例如，在专业网络中，在社交网络中）向目标收件人分发内容项目。 对于所选择的内容项目和所识别的项目的目标收件人，当用户发起消息以转发或以其他方式传送内容项目时，应用一个或多个方案来选择并自动地填充具有合适收件人的消息。 在一个方案中，为发送者的每个邻居计算值，以指示将项目递送给该邻居的值; 消息被自动寻址到最高价值的邻居。 在另一个方案中，确定了包含目标收件人的用户社区，并将消息自动发送给最能够在整个社区中传播该项目的邻居。 在另一方案中，识别具有到所有目标接收者的连接的最小的邻居集合。

摘要： A system, method, and apparatus are provided for automatically establishing an inferred (‘follow’) relationship between a first member and a second member of a user community. Based on passive and/or active signals indicating affinity of the first member for the second member, the system determines whether an inferred connection from the first member to the second member would improve the first member's network within the user community. A potential improvement may be observed if the potential connection would improve some aspect or characteristic of a target or ideal network identified for the first member, and/or if there is more than a threshold level of affinity between the members. The first member's network may be pruned, if necessary, to accommodate a connection to the second member if, for example, the connection would violate a constraint associated with the target or ideal network.

摘要： A system, method, and apparatus are provided for identifying an ideal or target network of a member of a professional network or social network, or one or more characteristics of such a network. Based on a type of the member, one or more attributes of a profile of the member, and/or one or more goals of the member, characteristics may be identified that support achievement of those goals or that promote more effective use of the professional network or social network by the member. By way of illustration, an ideal or target user network of a member seeking to improve her future job opportunities may include a minimum number of connections to members employed by different organizations, while an ideal or target user network of a member seeking a mentor may include a maximum number of connections to members holding senior positions within the member's industry or functional area.

摘要翻译： 提供了一种用于在用户社区的第一成员和第二成员之间自动建立推断（“跟随”）关系的系统，方法和装置。 基于指示第一成员对第二成员的亲和性的被动和/或活动信号，系统确定从第一成员到第二成员的推断连接是否会改善用户社区内的第一成员的网络。 如果潜在连接将改善为第一成员确定的目标或理想网络的某些方面或特征，和/或如果成员之间存在多于一个阈值水平的亲和度，则可以观察到潜在的改进。 如果需要，可以修剪第一成员的网络以适应与第二成员的连接，例如，如果连接将违反与目标或理想网络相关联的约束。
