Abstract
A system gathers information on important and influential people and builds a social graph. The information is organized based on this social graph and provided to users as a service. The system continually updates information in the social graph by crawling websites and other sources of information. When a user wants to keep updated with a person of the system, the user can establish a watch. The system processes the requirements of the user from the watch and alerts the user when the requirements are met.
