Abstract
Several applications are built around sharing information by
leveraging social network connections. For example, in social buying sites like Groupon, a deal is usually forwarded
to interested recipients through their social graph. A primary goal is to improve user satisfaction by maximizing the
relevance of the shared message to the target audience. In
this work, we address this problem by proposing a context-
based routing approach that exploits both user preferences
and the network structure aiming at enhancing the relevance
of forwarded messages and ensuring that each message will
be delivered to the most interested users.
