Abstract

See full text

A system, apparatus, and method are provided for facilitating simultaneous formation of associations or connections among multiple users of a professional network service, a social network service or other application or service in which users form relationships with each other. One user submits a request or suggestion to the system and identifies the multiple users (e.g., by username, by electronic mail address, by telephone number). The system dispatches invitations to some or all of the users to allow them to endorse connections with all of the other users, with none of the users, or with some specific subset. The system receives the responses and forms the approved associations.
