Abstract
A method includes receiving one or more social networking updates, identifying update information corresponding to each of the one or more social networking updates, wherein update information includes at least user information, interaction information, and time information, calculating a prioritization score for each of the one or more social networking updates according to the identified update information, prioritizing the one or more updates based on the calculated prioritization scores, and displaying the one or more updates according to the prioritization. A computer program product and computer system corresponding to the method are also disclosed.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving one or more social networking updates;
- identifying update information corresponding to each of the one or more social networking updates, wherein update information includes at least user information, interaction information, and time information;
- identifying a user hierarchy according to the user information, wherein the user hierarchy indicates users from within a network whose content should be prioritized over content from other users;
- calculating a prioritization score for each of the one or more social networking updates according to the identified update information and the identified user hierarchy, wherein the prioritization score indicates an importance of a corresponding social networking update;
- prioritizing the one or more updates based on the calculated prioritization scores;
- and
- displaying the one or more updates according to the prioritization.
A computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising instructions to:
- receive one or more social networking updates;
- identify update information corresponding to each of the one or more social networking updates, wherein update information includes at least user information, interaction information, and time information;
- identify a user hierarchy according to the user information, wherein the user hierarchy indicates users from within a network whose content should be prioritized over content from other users;
- calculate a prioritization score for each of the one or more social networking updates according to the identified update information and the identified user hierarchy, wherein the prioritization score indicates an importance of a corresponding social networking update;
- prioritize the one or more updates based on the calculated prioritization scores;
- and
- display the one or more updates according to the prioritization.
A computer system comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- one or more computer-readable storage media;
- program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising instructions to:
- receive one or more social networking updates;
- identify update information corresponding to each of the one or more social networking updates, wherein update information includes at least user information, interaction information, and time information;
- identify a user hierarchy according to the user information, wherein the user hierarchy indicates users from within a network whose content should be prioritized over content from other users;
- calculate a prioritization score for each of the one or more social networking updates according to the identified update information and the identified user hierarchy, wherein the prioritization score indicates an importance of a corresponding social networking update;
- prioritize the one or more updates based on the calculated prioritization scores;
- and
- display the one or more updates according to the prioritization.
