An analysis application utilizes interactivity signals to generate relationships and promote content. One or more interactivity applications, such as a social networking application, are queried to retrieve interactivity signals. Interactivity signals include an interaction pattern that indicates a relationship between a user and relations of the user. A relationship graph is constructed based on the interactivity signals. Content associated with a user is promoted based on the relationship graph. A weight of the interactivity signals is adjusted to improve a ranking of the relationship graph and a ranking of the content.

Utilizing interactivity signals to generate relationships and promote content

A computer-implemented method that monitors the activity of different nodes within a system as well as crowd sourcing activity. The computer-implemented method determines that a first node formed a relationship with a second node, generates an edge based on the relationship between the first node and the second node, stores the edge in a graph index and assigns a privacy setting to the edge based on the relationship between the first and second nodes.
