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.
