Abstract:
A method for presenting a graphical representation of the strength or vitality of a contact's social network is disclosed. When a user pulls up a graphical user interface displaying contacts in his or her social network, in addition to the traditional profile data for each contact, a virtual object may be displayed. The virtual object for a contact may be displayed in different ways, depending on the strength of the contact's social network. Thus, a user may access a contact in their social network and, by viewing the social network virtual object, quickly and easily get a sense of the strength and vitality of that contact's social network.
