Information propagation via weighted semantic and social graphs
Propagating information in a computer network, in one aspect, may include detecting an online action performed by a user on a content presented on a computer. The content may be annotated with an identifier. A semantic graph may be searched for a semantic node representing the identifier. The semantic graph may be searched for one or more other semantic nodes representing one or more other identifiers that meet a semantic similarity threshold based on weighted distances between the semantic node and the one or more other semantic nodes. One or more other users represented in a social graph may be determined that have interest in one or more topics represented by the identifier and the one or more other identifiers. The online action on the content may be propagated to the one or more other users.
