The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method for decreasing duplicate entries and loops in an activity record such as on a user's page on a social networking site. An exemplary method comprises analyzing a new entry from a user to determine an originating service and a type of activity and extracting an identifying portion of the new entry. The identifying portion is compared to a list of prior entries from the user, and an exclusion action is performed, if the new entry matches one in the list of prior entries. The exclusion action may be to hide the new entry, to delete the new entry, or to collapse the new entry into a matching prior entry.

The claimed subject matter decreases duplicate entries and loops in an activity record. An exemplary method comprises analyzing a new entry from a user to determine an originating service and a type of activity and extracting an identifying portion of the new entry. The identifying portion includes a predetermined number of characters at a beginning of the entry. Additionally, the predetermined number of characters is based on a likelihood of duplicates in the activity record. The identifying portion is compared to a list of prior entries from the user, and an exclusion action is performed, if the new entry matches one in the list of prior entries. The exclusion action may be to hide the new entry, to delete the new entry, or to collapse the new entry into a matching prior entry.
