UNIFYING SOCIAL GRAPHS ACROSS MULTIPLE SOCIAL NETWORKS

摘要

Software for the unification of user profiles on social networking sites is disclosed, which can be used to yield a consolidated social graph for a user of multiple social networks. Multiple social networks to which the user is a subscriber are queried and a unified social graph for the user is returned. Previously unseen linkages between users of disparate social networks can be located using the unified graph for a user. Appropriate security controls to allow connections of the user to control their inclusion in the unified graph can be provided.
