A machine may be configured to generate and provide, for example, a voice-user interface to a social networking service. The voice-user interface may enable a member of the social networking service to access member profile information for other members of the social networking service. Using the voice-user interface, a first member of the social networking service can speak a natural language command or request to receive an aural response that includes information regarding a second member of the social networking service. In this manner, the first member can request and receive specific member profile information of a second member. In another aspect, the first member can record audio notes to be assigned to his or her own member profile or assigned to a member profile of the second member. The first member may subsequently use the voice-user interface to have such audio notes played back when desired.
