Abstract

See full text

Managing relationships in a social network service implemented by at least one processor includes: establishing with the at least one processor a quantified interaction goal for at least a first party and a second party corresponding to a period of time; determining with the at least one processor, prior to an expiration of the period of time, that a current quantified accumulated interaction between the first party and the second party is inconsistent with the quantified interaction goal; and automatically performing a remedial action with the at least one processor to facilitate adjusting the quantified accumulated interaction between the first party and the second party to a level consistent with the quantified interaction goal.
