Messenger as a Social Infrastructure for Communities. • Social communities are a powerful tool but social connections are hard to elicit from users. • MSN messenger is an existing large social network • Solves the bootstrapping problem. • Yields effective communities (see poster).
Decentralized social information sharing. • No central repository – P2P paradigm • Personalization: Each user has distinct data • Privacy: User information propagates only to trusted peers • Trust: Information is pulled only from trusted peers
Collaborative and personalized web search. • Things you can do with Nocturnal: • Share URL ratings among Messenger peers • Collaborative web spam filtering • Exchange reviews and recommendations • A browser enhanced with our toolbar uses the local database to filter search results and to give peer-recommended URLs higher importance.
