Abstract
Some users (also called sharers) desire to share content with recipients (also called recipients) over a virtual community or other computerized means. Some of the content to be shared (first-order content) may include links, hyperlinks, or other references (links) to additional content (each individually a second-order content). These content layers may continue indefinitely and the content layers may contain links both within and without the domain or virtual community of the first-order content. A sharer may be unaware of whether various recipients have access to any of the various layers of content (first-order or otherwise). Embodiments of the present invention transmit the likelihood for individual recipients to access various layers of content to the sharer.
