Abstract
A server receives an indication that a user of a client device has selected social network data associated with a social network provider that maintains a social graph. The selected social network data indicates approval of a coupon offer by the user. In response to receiving the indication, the server computer provides the coupon to the user and sends a link message that causes a user node that is associated with the user to be linked, within the social graph, with a coupon node that is associated with the coupon offer. A message including data associated with the coupon offer is sent to a subset of a set of other users identified, in the social graph that the social network provider maintains, as connected to the user.
