Abstract
An on-line social graph that allows users to establish an account with the system and establish connections to nodes in the system. The social graph uses system-provided nodes that are created and maintained by the system, so that users cannot edit the system-provided nodes. The user is allowed to select entities and the system will process and display useful information regarding the relationship of the entities to the user or other nodes. Entities can be organizations, persons, locations, or other. In an implementation, the system displays connections the user has to system-provided nodes.
