Abstract
Techniques for dynamic display of visualized units received from plural sources are described. Visualized units are scheduled for display for a time period and rendered on the display for the time period. The visualized units can be shared according to user preferences, picked according to a user selection into personal, shareable sets of visualized units. The visualized units can be annotated, mixed from different sources and focused.

A system comprising:
- a processor;
- a display;
- an engine to produce a plurality of visualized units that are produced from items collected by the system according to user-defined collection rules;
- a storage device storing plural sets of visualized units that are selected from the plurality of visualized units produced from the collected items;
- and
- a memory executing a computer program for dynamic display of visualized units, the computer program product comprises instructions to configure the processor to:
- retrieve a group of the visualized units, with the visualized units comprising thumbnail representations of the corresponding visualized units;
- render on the display device for a time period, an arrangement of the thumbnails corresponding to the retrieved visualized units;
- receive a user selection of one of the displayed thumbnails;
- produce an associative set of visualized units from two or more of the stored sets of visualized units, with the associative set comprising visualize units that are related to the visualized unit represented by user selected thumbnail, by execution by the system of:
- one or more sets of associative rules that determine commonality between the selected visualized unit corresponding to the displayed thumbnail and the two or more stored sets of the visualized units stored in the storage device of the system;
- wherein instructions to execute one or more sets of associative rules, executes a rule that determines common discussions about items, topics and interactions among visualized units with the common discussions derived from annotations stored in data structures that correspond to the visualized units;
- and
- display the associated set of visualized units.
