ELICITING EVENT-DRIVEN FEEDBACK IN A SOCIAL NETWORK

Abstract:

Particular embodiments detect an indication of an event that is initiated on an online social network by a user and that is related to an entity associated with an activity that the user has engaged in. Based on the received indication, a social-networking system sends the user a request for follow-up information about the activity. After the follow-up information is received, the social-networking system retrieves contacts of the user and identifies contacts that have engaged in social activities on the online social network related to the entity. Recommendations for the entity are then sent to those identified contacts.
