Abstract
A system and a method for notifying users of the installation of applications using social networks. An application broadcaster automatically publishes a user's application installation events on one platform to the user's activity streams on external social platforms. This way, a message regarding the application appears in the user's activity streams within social networks, resulting in the application becoming popular among the user's friends. In one embodiment, the application broadcaster determines whether user activity associated with the installed application meets a criterion before broadcasting information about the application. The application broadcaster also suggests applications that the user might find interesting.
