- in response to selection of the first selectable indicator, cause the display of at least one recommendation via the detail page, wherein each recommendation is associated with a member of the extended social network.
A system to provide recommendations, the system comprising:
- a server system including processing logic and memory accessible to the processing logic, wherein the memory includes instructions executable by the processing logic to cause the server system to:
- provide an online site;
- receive input indicating a selection of an offering via the online site;
- cause the generation of a detail page via the online site, the detail page including a first selectable indicator corresponding to an extended social network of a visitor and a second selectable indicator corresponding to unfiltered content, wherein the extended social network includes a set of members of a first social network of the visitor and a set of members of a second social network, and wherein the set of members of the second social network includes at least one member from the set of members of the first social network of the visitor;
- and
- in response to selection of the first selectable indicator, cause the display of at least one recommendation via the detail page, wherein each recommendation is associated with a member of the extended social network.
A computer-readable medium having processor-readable instructions that are executable by processing logic to perform a method, the method comprising:
- providing an online site to a visitor;
- receiving input indicating a selection of an offering via the online site;
- causing the generation of a detail page via the online site, the detail page including a first selectable indicator corresponding to an extended social network of a visitor and a second selectable indicator corresponding to unfiltered content, wherein the extended social network includes a set of members of a first social network of the visitor and a set of members of a second social network, and wherein the set of members of the second social network includes at least one member from the set of members of the first social network of the visitor;
