Abstract
A method of querying a social network associated with a user may include receiving, by a computing device, a query that includes an indication of a product, and an identifier associated with the user. The method may include executing, by the computing device, the query across the social network by sending the query to one or more agent applications associated with one or more members of the social network, and receiving a notification from one or more of the agent applications if a profile for a member of the social network indicates that the member is associated with the product, and a privacy policy associated with the member permits the agent to send the notification.
