1. A method for social media based weighted route selection, the method comprising:
detecting, in an application using a processor and a memory, that a first route and a second route are possible between two places; identifying, relative to the first route, a first set of points of interest (POIs); collecting, by accessing a social media source, a set of social information, wherein the set of social information comprises information related to a point of interest (POI) in the set of POIs, wherein the information is shared with the user in a social group at the social media source, wherein the user is a member of the social group; organizing a subset of the set of social information into a set of categories related to the POI; assigning each information in the subset of social information a corresponding weight to compute a value corresponding to each information; determining, using the computed values, a total value of each POI in the first set of POIs; and presenting, from the first route and the second route, that route as socially preferred route which has a higher total route value, a total route value of the first route comprising a sum of total values of each POI in the first set of POIs. |
