Compact visualization into aggregated events in social collaboration programs

A computer program product (CPP) for use in a distributed computing environment, the CPP comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium;
• and
• program instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium, with the program instructions including instructions for causing one or more computer processors to perform operations including the following:
• receiving an end user configuration information data set including:
• (i) information indicative of a relationship between a first user and a plurality of entities in a defined social environment, and (ii) information indicative of a degree of the relationship between the first user and each entity of the plurality of entities in the defined social environment,
• receiving an insight query data set including information indicative of:
• (i) a target date of events, (ii) a target data bucket including a plurality of events from a social activity stream, and (iii) a target degree of relationship between the end user and a queried entity,
• processing an insight query based, at least in part, on the insight query data set, with the processing including:
• collecting an event count data set including information indicative of a sum total number of times events occurred, counting only events that:
• (i) occurred on the target date of events, (ii) are located within the target data bucket, and (iii) and were undertaken by entities of the plurality of entities that match the target degree of relationship,
• aggregating counters from multiple social network services into the collected event count data set,
• managing social information associated with the plurality of entities, and
• determining a query response data set based, at least in part, on the event count data set, and
• outputting a visual representation of the query response data set to at least one computer device over a computer network.
