ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems for providing hyperlinks to blogs that are maintained by members of a social network who have a particular association or relationship with a member of the social network in response to a request are described. A request for blog information may come from a member of the social network or from non-members. In order to gather the blog information, an association type (or association) associated with the request may be identified by a software application. After identifying the association, members of the social network who have the identified association with the member of interest may be identified using profile information associated with the member of interest. Once members having the identified association with the member of interest are identified, blog information for each identified member may be determined. Once the blog information is identified, a representation of the blog information (for example, a text-based display with hyperlinks) may be generated. The representation may then be displayed on a client device associated with the person who requested the blog information.
