Claims (62)

1. A method comprising:

providing a social networking service comprising a content spreading engine;

for the content spreading engine, using an electronic processor, calculating a spreadability (Si) component of a given content using an equation Si=f(w s T ), where f(x)=1/(1+e −x ), wherein w comprises a vector of weights, s comprises a vector of factors affecting spreadability Si, and T represents a transpose operation;

calculating a reaction (Rij) component of the given content using an equation Rij=f(w t T ), where f(x)=1/(1+e −x ), wherein t comprises a vector of factors affecting reaction Rij; and

based on the spreadability and reaction components, making a determination whether to deliver the given content to other users of the social networking service or killing the given content, preventing its delivery to other users of the social networking service.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein s comprises a factor comprising a total number of spread or kill votes in a given time period.
