Abstract
In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for recommending a shared connection are presented. A set of shared connections between a first application user and a second application user may be identified. A determination may be made that a communication value between the first and second application users is below a recommendation surfacing threshold. A communication value between each application user of the set of shared connections and the first user may be calculated. A communication value between each application user of the set of shared connections and the second user may be calculated. One or both of the calculated communication values may be utilized to rank the shared connections based on importance to the first user, importance to the second user, and/or importance to the first user and the second user. One or more top ranked candidate user profiles may be promoted on a graphical user interface.
