User interface for displaying user affinity graphically

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• data storage comprising modules including instructions to be executed by the at least one processor, the modules comprising:
• an interaction recording module configured to record logical relationship information, the logical relationship information describing logical relationships between a first user and other users, the logical relationship information associated with a social networking site, and to measure affinity levels for each of the logical relationships between the first user and the other users, wherein each affinity level indicates a connection strength of a connection between the first user and another user;
• and
• an interface module configured to display one or more of the logical relationships between the first user and one or more of the other users in a user interface, wherein the affinity level for each of the one or more logical relationships is represented graphically in the user interface, wherein representing graphically the affinity level for each of the one or more logical relationships includes altering a brightness of a graphical element representing each of the one or more logical relationships such that the brighter the graphical element, the stronger the affinity level and wherein the graphical element representing each of the one or more logical relationships is a photograph of each of the other users logically connected to the first user.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

• recording logical relationship information, the logical relationship information describing logical relationships between a first user and other users, the logical relationship information associated with a social networking site;
• measuring affinity levels for each of the logical relationships between the first user and the other users, wherein each affinity level indicates a connection strength of a connection between the first user and another user;
• and
• displaying one or more of the logical relationships between the first user and one or more of the other users in a user interface, wherein the affinity level for each of the one or more logical relationships is represented graphically in the user interface, wherein representing graphically the affinity level for each of the one or more logical relationships includes altering a brightness of a graphical element representing each of the one or more logical relationships such that the brighter the graphical element, the stronger the affinity level and wherein the graphical element representing each of the one or more logical relationships is a photograph of each of the other users logically connected to the first user.
