Abstract:
A social network site with enhanced user interaction functionality. In one implementation, a method includes receiving an invite request from an inviting user, wherein the invite request comprises identifying information associated with an invited user; generating a new account for the invited user; allowing the inviting user to create and customize a proposed personal page for the invited user; transmitting to the invited user an invitation and a link to the proposed personal page; and conditionally receiving a response from the invited user, wherein the response indicates if the invited user has accepted the personal page.
