Abstract

The present teaching relates to online user profiling. In one example, content associated with a first user of a social media network is obtained. From the content associated with the first user, a first link to a first piece of content is identified. A second user of the social media network associated with the first user is determined in the context of the social media network. From content associated with the second user of the social media network, a second link to a second piece of content is identified. The first and second pieces of content are retrieved based on the first and second links, respectively. User profile of the first user is generated based, at least in part, on the first and second pieces of content.
