Abstract
Individual users may log into the same online game from multiple different social networking platforms. The disclosed technology provides a way to unite users' accounts such that users that have logged into the online game from different social networking platforms can have their progress in the online game preserved regardless of which social networking platforms the user logged in from. Business intelligence about differences in the user's value when logging in from the different social networking platforms can be determined and incentivizing actions can be performed on the social networking platforms based on the business intelligence.

A system for determining and acting on a user's value for an online game when the game is accessed from a first social networking platform and a second social networking platform, the system comprising:
- one or more processors configured to execute computer program modules, the computer program modules comprising:
- a federation module configured to identify the user that played the online game via the first social networking platform as the same use that played the online game via the second social networking platform;
- a business intelligence module configured to determine for a first metric, the user's value for the online game when the game is accessed via the first social networking platform and to determine, for the first metric, the user's value for the online game when the game is accessed via the second social networking platform;
- and
- a notification module configured to generate a first notification to the first social networking platform based on determinations for the first metric made by the business intelligence module.
A computer-implemented method for determining a user's value across a plurality of platforms, the method comprising:
- uniting a user's account in an online game across multiple social networking platforms.
- determining a first value of the user's interaction within or related to the online game for a first metric for a first social networking platform;
- determining a second value of the user's interaction within or related to the online game for the first metric for a second social networking platform;
- performing an incentivizing action on either the first or second social networking platform based on the determined first and second values.
