A method, computer readable medium, user component, and system for sharing media object in a network environment are disclosed. A network manager may determine a similarity metric between users of the environment, between media objects, and/or between a user and media objects. Based upon the similarity metric, the network manager may share media objects with another user if the similarity metric exceeds a predetermined value or is more similar than other retrieved media objects. A user component may also provide a network map manager to display a network map, and may provide a tailored view manager to display a web log associated with at least one of the user icons displayed in the network map.

The invention claimed is: 1. A method comprising:defining a plurality of users in a network environment;receiving a media object from a first user of the plurality of users;calculating a similarity metric based on S=NAB/SquareRoot(NA*NB) where S indicates a normalized co-occurrence of the first user

The invention claimed is: 1. A method comprising:defining a plurality of users in a network environment;receiving a media object from a first user of the plurality of users;calculating a similarity metric based on S=NAB/SquareRoot(NA*NB) where S indicates a normalized co-occurrence of the first user and the second user being associated with posted media objects, and where NAB indicates a number of the posted media objects associated with the first user and the second user, and where NA indicates a number of the posted media objects associated with the first user but not the second user, and where NB indicates a number of the posted media objects associated with the second user but not the first user; andforwarding the media object to the second user in response to the similarity metric exceeding a pre-determined value;wherein the method is performed by a computing device.
