The GUI interface then determines properties associated with the determined recommendations, and presents the one or more recommendations and graphical representations of their associated properties for display to the user. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer-implemented method for providing a graphical interface to traverse online content, the method comprising: receiving textual input from a user, the user having a navigation network including additional users who are associated with the user in one or more external social networking systems; determining a plurality of recommendations based on the textual input and the navigation network, wherein a first recommendation is associated with web content; receiving from at least one external social networking system information about one or more of the additional users who have interacted with the web content in the at least one external social networking system; providing for display the first recommendation and a graphical representation of the one or more additional users, the graphical representation identifying one or more of the additional users who have interacted with the web content in the at least one external social networking system. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein a second recommendation is an online friend of the user, and further comprising providing for display the second recommendation and an interface that enables the user to contact the online friend. ### Claim at position 3 3-4. (canceled) ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising providing for display a graphical representation of a source of the web content. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising providing for display a preview window associated with the first recommendation, the preview window including a title associated with the first recommendation. ### Claim 7 (canceled) ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein a second recommendation is a search term, and further comprising providing for display a graphical representation of a search service for obtaining search results for the search term. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising providing for display a graphical representation of a web application associated with the web content. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The computer-implemented method of claim 9, wherein selection of the graphical representation of the web application results in the web application being added as a favorite application for the user. ### Claim 11 A non-transitory computer-readable medium for providing a graphical interface to traverse online content, the computer-readable medium including computer program code for: receiving textual input from a user, the user having a navigation network including additional users who are associated with the user in one or more external social networking systems; determining a plurality of recommendations based on the textual input and the navigation network, wherein a first recommendation is associated with web content; receiving from at least one external social networking system information about one or more of the additional users who have interacted with the web content in the at least one external social networking system; providing for display the first recommendation and a graphical representation of the one or more additional users, the graphical representation identifying one or more of the additional users who have interacted with the web content in the at least one external social networking system. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11, wherein a second recommendation is an online friend of the user, and further comprising providing for display the second recommendation and an interface that enables the user to contact the online friend. ### Claim at position 12 -14. (canceled) ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11, further comprising computer program code for providing for display a graphical representation of a source of the web content. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11, further comprising computer program code for providing for display a preview window associated with the first recommendation, the preview window including a title associated with the first recommendation. ### Claim 17 (canceled) ### Claim 18 (depends on 11) The non-transitory computer-readable medium computer of claim 11, wherein a second recommendation is a search term, and further comprising computer program code for providing for display a graphical representation of a search service for obtaining search results for the search term. ### Claim 19 (depends on 11) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11, further comprising computer program code for providing for display a graphical representation of a web application associated with the web content. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The non-transitory computer-readable medium claim 19, wherein selection of the graphical representation of the web application results in the web application being added as a favorite application for the user.
