Abstract
User input including a social network notification symbol followed by a social network tag is detected in association with a social network user interface. The social network tag includes a text keyword that identifies a social network topic within the social network. A subset of social network users within the social network that follow the social network topic identified by the text keyword of the social network tag is determined. A referential third-party social network user notification subset within the social network is defined as the determined subset of social network users within the social network that follow the social network topic. A referential third-party social network notification is published to the defined referential third-party social network user notification subset within the social network. The referential third-party social network notification includes the detected user input that includes the social network notification symbol followed by the social network tag.
