Abstract
A message sent by a message sender to a message receiver can be, e.g., upon arrival at a message system server, ranked or scored based on attributes of the message sender such as influence and engagement. Influence can relate to a determination of how influential the message sender is. Engagement can relate to a determination of how interested the message sender is in content published or syndicated by the message receiver. The message score can reflect a combination of an influence score and an engagement score. Scored messages can be sorted or filtered according to a desired element and a presentation of messages stored by the message system can be updated (e.g., ordered and scored) according to the desired element.
