Abstract
Systems and methods for providing a document are described. In one described method, a document comprising a portion selected by a first member of a social network is hoisted for the first member. The portion is dynamically updated with content. An audience criterion for the portion and a type of relationship between the first member and a second member of the social network are identified. If the type of relationship between the first member and the second member satisfies the audience criterion, the second member is provided access to at least the portion.
Claims21
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- hosting, with one or more processors, a document for a first member of a social network, the document comprising a portion selected by the first member that is dynamically updated with content;
- identifying, with at least one of the one or more processors, a relationship criterion, which is designated by the first member and specific to the portion;
- accessing, with at least one of the one or more processors, profile data associated with the first member of the social network;
- identifying, with at least one of the one or more processors, a relationship between the first member and a second member of the social network based on the profile data;
- and
- if the relationship between the first member and the second member satisfies the relationship criterion, providing at least the portion to the second member.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the system to:
- host a document for a first member of a social network, the document comprising a portion selected by the first member that is dynamically updated with content;
- identify a relationship criterion, which is designated by the first member and specific to the portion;
- access profile data associated with the first member of the social network;
- identify a relationship between the first member and a second member of the social network based on the profile data;
- and
- provide at least the portion to the second member if the relationship between the first member and the second member satisfies the relationship criterion.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium including a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a computer, causes the computer to perform operations comprising:
- hosting a document for a first member of a social network, the document comprising a portion selected by the first member that is dynamically updated with content;
- identify a relationship criterion, designated by the first member and specific to the portion;
- accessing profile data associated with the first member of the social network;
- identifying a relationship between the first member and second member of the social network based on the profile data;
- and
- providing at least the portion to the second member if the relationship between the first member and the second member satisfies the relationship criterion.
