Abstract
Implementations generally relate to creating groups in a social network system. In one implementation, a method includes identifying at least one person that is proximate to a target user in a social network system, determining that the target user is generating a pattern; recognizing the at least one person proximate to the target user who is generating the pattern; creating a group in the social network system, and the group includes the at least one person generating the pattern; and associating the group with the target user.
