According to various exemplary embodiments, professional identity content associated with a member of a social network service is identified, based on a network search for online content that contains online content attributes that match member profile attributes included in member profile data associated with the member. Thereafter, a display of a prompt is generated, via a user interface in a device, wherein the prompt invites the member to update a member profile page associated with the member, based on the identified professional identity content.

Internet-wide professional identity platform

A system, method, and apparatus are provided for propagating a status among related events. A relationship component of the system maintains a graph of the related events and, upon assignment of a status to an event identifies one or more related events (e.g., the root event, other ancestor events, descendant events). A retention component of the system includes multiple nodes that maintain user records (e.g., sharded by user identifier) storing events associated with the members and that also maintain separate event status tables to identify statuses of selected events. For example, an event status table may store statuses of root events and/or other ancestor events from which a given subsequent event may inherit or derive a status. An event status may reflect a quality or characteristic of the event (e.g., spam, low quality, language of the event), a status of the associated user (e.g., fame, level of influence), etc.

Propagating a status among related events

According to various example embodiments, a prompt is superimposed over a second user profile page that is being viewed by a first user, the prompt inviting the first user to update their own user profile page, based on the second user profile page being viewed. For example, the prompt may invite the first user to add a piece of content on their profile page that is included in the second user profile page but is missing from the first user profile page.

User profile improvement system

According to various exemplary embodiments, an online content account corresponding to a member of a social network service is identified, the online content account being hosted by an online content hosting service distinct from said social network service. Thereafter, a display is generated, via a user interface in a device, of a prompt that invites the member to bind the online content account with a member profile page associated with the member of the social network service.

Systems and methods for binding online content accounts

According to various exemplary embodiments, it is determined that a particular user is associated with a particular member segment of a networking website. Further, a task prioritization list associated with the particular member segment is accessed. The task prioritization list may include a prioritized list of profile update tasks associated with successful user profile pages of the particular member segment. Moreover, a prompt is displayed inviting the particular user to update the particular user profile page based on the task prioritization list (e.g., by referring to the member segment and at least one of the tasks in the task prioritization list).
