Abstract:
A method for a computer system includes receiving a first user communication, determining a first group of users, determining a target number of users, determining whether the first group of users includes the target number of users, and if not, providing the communication to the first group of users, determining a hierarchal mapping of groups of users in response to user memberships, determining a second group of users from the hierarchal mapping, determining a plurality of social network relationship factors for the second group of users with respect to the first user, and providing the communication to at least a subset of users in the second group of users in response to the first plurality of social network relationship factors.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n receiving, on a server providing a user interface presented on a client device, an electronic communication originated by a first user of a social network; providing, in the user interface, an option to specify criteria for the electronic communication based upon relationships defined in the social network, the option including selecting a maximum social distance in the social network from the first user for receiving the electronic communication, wherein the social distance between two users is a numeric value corresponding to a degree of social separation in the social network between the two users; receiving, in the user interface from the first user, the criteria for the electronic communication, the criteria indicating the maximum social distance for receiving the electronic communication; determining which users of the social network are within the maximum social distance from the first user; and sending the electronic communication to the users within the maximum social distance.
