Performing actions associated with positive feedback events
Systems and methods for providing behavior feedback to members of a social network service are described. In some example embodiments, the systems and methods access information associated with positive feedback events for a member of a social network service, identify activities associated with the positive feedback events that were performed by the member of the social network service, and perform an action based on the identified one or more activities performed by the member of the social network service. For example, the systems and methods may display and/or update a dashboard that tracks and provides information associated with a member's status and interactions inside and outside of the social network service, may provide recommendations to other members that identify activities determined to generate positive feedback events for the members, and so on.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein accessing information associated with one or more positive feedback events for the one or more members of the social network service includes accessing information associated with endorsements of a plurality of items of content created, by the second set of members, within the social network service.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein accessing information associated with one or more positive feedback events for the one or more members of the social network service includes accessing information associated with a view of profile pages associated with the second set of members of the social network service.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying one or more types of content associated with more than the threshold number of the positive feedback events that were performed by the second set of members of the social network service includes identifying content published by the second set of members to the social network service.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying one or more types of content associated with more than the threshold number of the positive feedback events that were performed by the first set of members of the social network service includes identifying content published by the second set of members outside of the social network service.
8. The method of claim 1 further comprising identifying to two or more members of the social network service items of content provided by the particular member that are of the one or more types of content associated with more than the threshold number of positive feedback events.
9. The method of claim 1 further comprising, in response to a positive feedback event associated with an item of content provided by the particular member of the social network service, updating a dashboard, for the particular member of the social network service, that contains information identifying an aggregation of positive feedback events associated with the particular member.
10. The method of claim 1 further comprising updating the dashboard, for the particular member of the social network service, that contains actionable elements configured to cause the particular member to provide additional items of content of the one or more types of the content associated with the more than the threshold number of positive feedback events.
11. The method of claim 1 further comprising updating the dashboard, for the particular member of the social network service, that contains information associated with statistics for positive feedback events associated with the particular member.
12. The method of claim 1 further comprising updating the dashboard, for the particular member of the social network service, that contains information associated with two or more types positive feedback events associated with the member.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first set of members includes at least some members of the second set of members.
14. A system comprising:
one or more processors and a non-transitory machine readable memory storing sets of instructions that when implemented by the one or more processors:
access information associated with one or more positive feedback events for a one or more members of a social network service, wherein a plurality of the positive feedback events comprise endorsements, by a first set of members, of content provided to the social network service by a second set of members, the content including any one of: a comment relating to other content published in a feed or content stream of the social network service, a status update published via the feed or content stream of the social network service, an update to a member profile of a member of the social network service;
identify one or more types of the content provided by the second set of members, wherein the one or more types of the content are associated with more than a threshold number of positive feedback events that were performed by the first set of members of the social network service;
subsequent to the one or more types of content being identified, determine that a particular member, not included in the first and second sets of members, has provided less than a threshold number of items of the one or more types of content that are associated with more than a threshold number of positive feedback events that were performed by the first set of members of the social network service; and
