Abstract
A system and method is disclosed for aggregating networked content, and allowing user to obtain an unlimited number of engagements relating to networked content. The system may publish a ranking of users based on the number of engagements obtained by the users. Such ranking may facilitate highlighting or otherwise setting apart those users who have obtained more engagements relating to content, thereby allowing a user or user's content to be noticed by others, even among a vast number of networked content that is available.
Claims24
A system for aggregating content and facilitating uncapped engagement of the content, the system comprising:
- a computer system comprising one or more physical processors programmed by computer program instructions to:
- obtain a networked content item authored by a user;
- generate a user interface that displays a first number of engagements with the networked content item obtained by a first user, a second number of engagements with the networked content item obtained by a second user, and a display option configured to receive a request to obtain a number of engagements with respect to the networked content item, wherein a single engagement requires an amount of resources and the first number of engagements was obtained in exchange for a first amount of resource from the first user, and the second number of engagement was obtained in exchange for a second amount of resources from the second user;
- provide, via a network, the user interface;
- receive, via the user interface, an indication to obtain a third number of engagements relating to the networked content item from a third user different from the user that authored the networked content item, the first user, and the second user;
- determine a third amount of resources required to obtain the third number of engagements by multiplying the amount of resources required for a single engagement with the third number;
- debit the third amount of resources from a user account balance associated with the third user;
- store, in a database accessible to the computer system, an association between the third number of engagements and the third user;
- and
- provide, in the user interface, an indication of the third number of engagements.
A system for aggregating content and facilitating uncapped engagement of the content, the system comprising:

- store, in a database accessible to the computer system, an association between the first plurality of engagements and the first user;
- obtain, from the database, information indicating a second plurality of engagements with respect to the networked content item from at least a second user different from both the user and the first user;
- and
- provide, via the user interface, an indication of the first plurality of engagements from the first user and the second plurality of engagements from the second user.
A system for aggregating content and facilitating uncapped engagement of the content, the system comprising:
- a computer system comprising one or more physical processors programmed by computer program instructions to:
- obtain a networked content item authored by a user;
- generate a user interface comprising the networked content item and a display option configured to receive a request to obtain engagements with respect to the networked content item;
- provide, via a network, the user interface;
- receive, via the user interface, an indication to obtain a first plurality of engagements relating to the networked content item from a first user different from the user that authored the networked content item;
- determine an amount of resources required to obtain the first plurality of engagements;
- debit the amount of resources from a user account balance associated with the first user, wherein the user account balance stores an amount of resources available to the first user;
- store, in a database accessible to the computer system, an association between the first plurality of engagements and the first user;
- obtain, from the database, information indicating a second plurality of engagements with respect to the networked content item from at least a second user different from both the user and the first user;
- and
- provide, via the user interface, an indication of the first plurality of engagements from the first user and the second plurality of engagements from the second user;
- obtain a request from at least a third user to donate an amount of resources from a second user account balance associated with the third user to the user account balance;
- and
- increment the user account balance based on the request from the third user to donate the amount of resources from the second user account balance.
A method for aggregating content and facilitating uncapped engagement of the content, the method being implemented on a computer system comprising one or more physical processors programmed by computer program instructions to perform the method, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by the computer system, a networked content item authored by a user;
- generating, by the computer system, a user interface that displays a first number of engagements with the networked content item obtained by a first user, a second number of engagements with the networked content item obtained by a second user, and a display option configured to receive a request to obtain a number of engagements with respect to the networked content item, wherein a single engagement requires an amount of resources and the first number of engagements was obtained in exchange for a first amount of resources from the first user, and the second number of engagement was obtained in exchange for a second amount of resources from the second user;
- providing, by the computer system, via a network, the user interface;
- receiving, by the computer system, via the user interface, an indication to obtain a third number of engagements relating to the networked content item from a third user different from the user that authored the networked content item, the first user, and the second user;

- storing, by the computer system, in a database accessible to the computer system, an association between the third number of engagements and the third user;
- and
- providing, by the computer system, in the user interface, an indication of the third number of engagements.
