Zusammenfassung:A social networking system facilitates a user's creation of a group of other users from among the user's connections in the user's social network. The created groups may be used, for example, to publish information to certain user-defined groups or to define privacy settings or other access rights to the user's content according to such user-defined groups. When a user adds connections to a group, the social networking system determines a characteristic associated with the group and identifies whether the characteristic is specified in user profiles of the added connections. If the user profiles lack the characteristic, the social networking system suggests to the connections to update their user profiles with the characteristic.
