Abstract
In one implementation, a computer-implemented method includes receiving at information related to users of a social network site, and determining a social network graph for at least a portion of the social network, the graph including a plurality of nodes connected by links, each node corresponding to a user that has a profile page on the social network. The method can also include identifying first nodes from the plurality of nodes as including content associated with a particular subject of interest, and seeding the identified first nodes with first scores. The method can additionally include determining second scores for second nodes based on propagation of the first scores from the first nodes to the second nodes using the links of the social network graph; and providing the determined second scores for the second nodes.
