Abstract
A real-time messaging platform and method are disclosed which suggests messages and accounts from the real-time messaging platform.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method of operating a messaging platform, the method comprising:
- identifying accounts of the messaging platform, the accounts having associated graph data and associated content access statistics, the graph data representing relationships among the accounts, and the content access statistics representing access to a plurality of content items;
- selecting, by a computer processor, one or more initial accounts from the accounts of the messaging platform, the initial accounts having accessed a first content in accordance with the content access statistics;
- selecting one or more suggested accounts of the messaging platform, the suggested accounts having a pre-specified graph relationship with the initial accounts of the messaging platform in accordance with the graph data;
- and
- storing an association between the suggested accounts and the first content so that messages can be selected for presentation based on the association.
