Abstract
Techniques for topic recommendation are described herein. The techniques include a method that topic recommendation includes identifying topics associated with events within a social network environment. A rank may be determined indicating interest for an identified topic within the social network environment. The method may include recommending a topic to a user for posting in the social network environment based on the rank.
Claims11
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- identifying, within a social network environment of a user, a plurality of events;
- determining, for the identified plurality of events, a plurality of topics;
- presenting, to the user, the plurality of topics;
- compiling a plurality of posts, within the social network environment, associated with the presented plurality of topics;
- presenting, to the user and with the plurality of topics, the plurality of posts;
- receiving, from the user, a selection of a new subset of the social network environment;
- and
- presenting, to the user and based upon the new subset, a different plurality of topics, wherein
- the plurality of topics are presented in a ranked order, and
- the plurality of topics are determined based upon a user-centric subset of the social network environment of the user.

A computer hardware system, comprising:
- a hardware processor configured to initiate the following operations:
- identifying, within a social network environment of a user, a plurality of events;
- determining, for the identified plurality of events, a plurality of topics;
- presenting, to the user, the plurality of topics;
- compiling a plurality of posts, within the social network environment, associated with the presented plurality of topics;
- presenting, to the user and with the plurality of topics, the plurality of posts;
- receiving, from the user, a selection of a new subset of the social network environment;
- and

A computer program product, comprising:
- a computer hardware storage device having stored therein computer-usable program code,
- the computer-usable program code, which when executed by a computer hardware system, causes the computer hardware system to perform:
- identifying, within a social network environment of a user, a plurality of events;
- determining, for the identified plurality of events, a plurality of topics;
- presenting, to the user, the plurality of topics;
- compiling a plurality of posts, within the social network environment, associated with the presented plurality of topics;
- presenting, to the user and with the plurality of topics, the plurality of posts;
- receiving, from the user, a selection of a new subset of the social network environment;
- and
- presenting, to the user and based upon the new subset, a different plurality of topics, wherein
- the plurality of topics are presented in a ranked order, and
- the plurality of topics are determined based upon a user-centric subset of the social network environment of the user.
