INTEGRATED PROFILE CREATION FOR A SOCIAL NETWORK ENVIRONMENT

摘要

In an example, a system and method is disclosed for providing a user matching system. To ease creation of a profile, a node may be enabled to connect to a third-party social media site where the node already has an established profile. The established profile is imported, wherein common fields are directly mapped, inferred fields may be deterministically inferred, and other fields such as “likes” may be assigned relative weights based on recentness, subjective user rankings, or correlation to other “likes.” The node may also be enabled to permanently log in to the matching system via credentials for the third-party social media site.
