Users in a social network are represented by nodes on a network graph. A similarity processor generates a similarity matrix of nodes and neighbors. A clustering processor groups select nodes based on similarity. Nodes initially assigned to one cluster are selectively added to other clusters based on similarity. A social network processor provides features and processing based on the clusters of nodes thus produced.
