Constructing social networks using monitored game play

A system comprising:

• a data store storing specific computer-executable instructions;
• and
• at least one computing device in communication with the data store, the at least one computing device including a processor that executes the specific computer-executable instructions to cause the system to at least:
• receive social network information for a first player of a game, wherein the social network information indicates a connection between the first player of the game and at least one other player of the game, wherein the connection identifies a social network service through which the connection is established;
• receive game play information for the first player and a second player of the game;
• determine that the game play information indicates that the first player and the second player of the game are compatible based at least in part on a portion of the game play information;
• identify a compatible service based at least in part on a comparison of services associated with a profile of the first player maintained by the game and a profile of the second player maintained by the game;
• confirm a compatible connection between the first player and the second player, wherein the compatible connection is associated with the compatible service accessed by the first player and the second player;
• and
• update the social network information to include the compatible connection between the first player of the game and the second player.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• under control of at least one computing device executing specific computer-executable instructions,
• receiving social network information for a first player of a game, wherein the social network information indicated a connection between the first player of the game and at least one other player of the game, wherein the connection identifies a social network service through which the connection is established;
• receiving game play information for the first player and a second player of the game;
• determining that the game play information indicates that the first player and the second player of the game are compatible based at least in part on a portion of the game play information;
• identifying a compatible service based at least in part on a comparison of services associated with a profile of the first player maintained by the game and a profile of the second player maintained by the game;
• and
• updating the social network information to include a connection between the first player of the game and the second player via the compatible service.
