Abstract
In general, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to techniques for migrating social networking connections in a social network from one profile to another profile. A first incoming connection from a third profile in a social network to a first profile in the social network may be determined. A first outgoing connection to a fourth profile in the social network from the first profile in the social network may be determined. A second incoming connection from the third profile to a second profile may be created based at least in part on the first incoming connection. A second outgoing connection to the fourth profile from the second profile may be created based at least in part on the first outgoing connection.
