A method to access trusted user generated content (UGC) is provided. User
registration information containing one or more identities is obtained.
Each identity corresponds to an internet social network that is
facilitated by one of a plurality of social network sites. The social
relationships are collected using the provided user identities at the
different social network sites and user extended social networks are
created for each user by joining the social relationships collected.
Then, UGC is collected from the plurality of social network sites and the
collected UGC is correlated with the extended social networks. The
correlated UGC is filtered according to the user configuration of a user
making a request, and then the results are presented to the requesting
user. A search function is provided to obtain information on demand, or
alternatively, a user receives feeds of information according to
configured information regarding the user's extended social network.
