A social networking system includes a question and answer system that allows questions to be associated with social networking system objects. A question is received from a questioning user. A question term is identified, and an object associated with the question term is identified. The identified object is then associated with the question, and this association is stored. Question terms can be identified by the questioning user, or automatically, using contextual information. Question objects may also be identified by using template questions or sample questions provided by the social networking system. The stored association may be used to collection information about answering users, to auto-populate answers, and to generate social networking system stories. The stored association may also be used to collect information about the object of the stored association, to recommend an object to a user, to target advertising to users, and to recommend answers to users.
