Abstract
Systems and methods for identifying a selected set of users of a social networking service which, upon issuing a notice regarding a re-post activity of an item of content, will likely result in heightened user interaction with the service. Upon receiving a notice of a re-post action by a first user, the social networking service identifies a first set of users of the service that have posted that item of content. Scores are associated with the users of the first set of users, the scores indicating a likelihood of a user that, if notified of the re-post action of the first user, will result in heightened user interaction with the social networking service. A subset of users of the first set of users are identified according to their associated scores and a notice of the re-post action by the first user is sent to the users of this subset of users.
