Claim 9:
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interaction involves a third social network object and a fourth social network object, wherein both the first social network object and the third social network object represent user accounts, further comprising: identifying a first explicit social graph connection indicating a relationship between the first social network object and the third social network object; and identifying a second explicit social graph connection between the fourth social network object and the second social network object, the second explicit social graph connection indicating that the fourth social network object is a part of the second social network object, wherein said generating the implicit social graph connection is responsive to identifying the first and second explicit social graph connections.
