Abstract
Techniques for presenting a featured skill of a first member of a social network system are described. An example system presents the featured skill on a profile page of the first member. The system can receive a request to view the profile page from a device of a second member. Additionally, profile data of the first and second members can be accessed, the profile data including skills associated with the first member. An endorser value can be determined for the first member based on a reputation score, the endorser value being associated with the first member having a specific skill. Moreover, a quality score for each skill in the skills can be calculated using the endorser value and the profile data. Furthermore, the featured skill can be selected based on the quality score. Subsequently, a user interface can present the featured skill on the profile page of the first member.
