Abstract
A profile update evaluator is configured to detect a change to profile data in a member profile and determine whether the change can be viewed as indicative of a positive professional transition for a member represented by the profile. If the change can be viewed as indicative of a positive professional transition, the profile update evaluator publishes the update to the member's network. Absent an indication that the change can be viewed as indicative of a positive professional transition, the profile update evaluator does not publish the update to the member's network and does not invite the member's connections to congratulate her on the job change.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- detecting a change to profile data in a member profile, the member profile representing a member in an on-line social network;
- determining, using at least one processor, that the change to profile data is indicative of a positive professional transition;
- and
- causing an announcement related to the change to the profile data to be presented on a display device.
A computer-implemented system comprising:
- a profile change detector, implemented using at least one processor, to detect a change to profile data in a member profile, the member profile representing a member in an on-line social network;
- a positive professional transition evaluator, implemented using at least one processor, to determine that the change to profile data is indicative of a positive professional transition;
- and
- a presentation module, implemented using at least one processor, to cause an announcement related to the change to the profile data to be presented on a display device.
A machine-readable non-transitory storage medium having instruction data executable by a machine to cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- detecting a change to profile data in a member profile, the member profile representing a member in an on-line social network;
- determining that the change to profile data is indicative of a positive professional transition;
- and
- causing an invitation to congratulate the member to be presented on a display device.
