QUALITY INDUSTRY CONTENT MIXED WITH FRIEND'S POSTS IN SOCIAL NETWORK

摘要

Methods, systems, and programs are provided for presenting professional content in a user feed. The user feed is populated with industry-wise content, using relevance-driven technologies to select the best relevant industry content, while solving the problem of low-content availability for users with few connections. Professional posts created by users in a social network are identified, where each user is associated with an industry as configured in a profile of the user. A score for each identified professional post is calculated and the professional posts are sorted based on their scores. After detecting a request for data to present in a first user feed to a first user that is associated with a first industry, the server selects professional posts based on the industry of the user that created each post. The selected professional posts are then merged with other types of content and presented in the first user feed.
