Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer pro grams encoded on computer storage devices, for determining Social affinities from public data. In one aspect, a method computes numeric affinity Scores or weights between pairs of network identities, e.g., identities made public by users of social web sites on the Internet, where the pairs of identities appear to represent pairs of individual people, using explicit and inferred social connections obtained from public user data on the Internet. Some of the system and methods explore all Social connections (paths) between any given pair of Ver tices X and Y in the weighted graph data structure of such Social connections and aggregates information about their number and relative strength to produce the affinity score from X to Y.
