transmitting, from a first computer to a second computer, a new posting to an activity stream in the second computer, wherein the new posting is available for viewing to a potential viewer set; identifying, by one or more processors, viewer information about one or more members of the potential viewer set; predicting, by one or more processors, a viewing activity of the new posting by the potential viewer set, wherein a predicted viewing activity is based on identified viewer information about said one or more members of the potential viewer set, and wherein the predicted viewing activity describes a predicted likelihood of the potential viewer set viewing the new posting; presenting, on a display coupled to the first computer, the predicted viewing activity of the new posting by the potential viewer set. setting, by one or more processors and based on a historical database of viewing habits of the one or more members of the potential viewer set, a first probability of the one or more members of the potential viewer set viewing the new posting within a first time period after the new posting is transmitted to the activity stream; and setting, by one or more processors and based on the historical database of viewing habits of the one or more members of the potential viewer set, a second probability of the one or more members of the potential viewer set viewing the new posting within a second time period after the new posting is transmitted to the activity stream, wherein the second time period occurs after the first time period, wherein the second probability is lower than the first probability, and wherein the second probability is based on none of the one or more members of the potential viewer set viewing the new posting within the first time period after the new posting was transmitted to the activity stream. |
