Abstract
A system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a computer-implemented method for matching social data to a user of a networked-based content publisher are provided. Consistent with some embodiments, the method may access social network entries published on one or more social networks. Social network entries that include a reference to content published by a particular content publisher may be identified. A social network profile corresponding to a first social network entry of the identified social network entries may be identified. The method may further include determining that the social network profile corresponds to a particular user of the content publisher based on information embedded in the reference to the content.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- one or more processors and executable instructions accessible on a computer-readable medium that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- accessing a subject social network entry published to a social network, the subject social network entry including a reference to content hosted by a network-based content publisher;
- identifying a social network profile corresponding to the subject social network entry;
- and
- determining that the social network profile corresponds to a particular user of the network-based content publisher based on information embedded in the reference included in the subject social network entry, the information including an identifier of a user account of the particular user hosted by the network-based content publisher.
A method comprising:
- accessing a subject social network entry published to a social network, the subject social network entry include a reference to content published by a network-based content publisher;
- identifying a social network profile corresponding to the subject social network entry;
- and
- determining, using one or more processors, that the social network profile corresponds to a particular user of the network-based content publisher based on information embedded in the reference included in the subject social network entry, the information including an identifier of a user account of the particular user hosted by the network-based content publisher.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium having embodied thereon instructions executable by one or more processors of a machine that cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- accessing a subject social network entry published to a social network, the subject social network entry include a reference to content published by a network-based content publisher;
- identifying a social network profile corresponding to the subject social network entry;
- and
- determining, using one or more processors, the social network profile corresponds to a particular user of the network-based content publisher based on information embedded in the reference included in the subject social network entry, the information including an identifier of a user account of the particular user hosted by the network-based content publisher.
