Claim Text:
1. A processor-implemented method for indicating a priority of a first linked node and a second linked node within a plurality of linked nodes associated with an electronically interactive social relations service, the method comprising: assigning, by a processor, a weight to the first linked node within the plurality of linked nodes; assigning, by the processor, a weight to the second linked node within the plurality of linked nodes; displaying a graphical user interface (GUI), wherein the GUI displays a plurality of adjustment options corresponding to the plurality of linked nodes and allowing an adjustment of the weight of the first linked node within the plurality of linked nodes, wherein the plurality of adjustment options comprises a plurality of sliders that can be moved upward and can be moved downward, an increment button and a decrement button associated with a priority value field, and an overwrite option to select and overwrite a priority value field; determining, by the processor, an adjustment of the weight of the first linked node within the plurality of linked nodes, wherein the adjustment of the weight of the first linked node is determined based on detecting an adjustment of the weight via at least one adjustment option within the plurality of adjustment options; and adjusting, by the processor, the weight of the second linked node based on the determining of the adjustment of the weight of the first linked node, the adjusting of the weight of the second linked node corresponding to a link strength of the second link node relative to the first link node.
