Abstract
A method for data retrieval is described. Interface circuitry of an information processing apparatus receives a request for data retrieval from a database. The database stores content sharing information in a social network. The request includes a first user identifier and a first link identifier. The processing circuitry determines whether the first user identifier and the first link identifier are associated in the database as a consequence of a previous sharing of a first article corresponding to the first link identifier using the first user identifier. Further, when the first user identifier and the first link identifier are determined to be associated, the processing circuitry searches for a first message identifier in the database. The first message identifier identifies a first message that includes information of the previous sharing of the first article. The processing circuitry then retrieves the first message according to the first message identifier.
