A computer-implemented method for enabling users to subscribe to people and other tagged entities is provided herein. Such a method includes maintaining subscription data specifying a plurality of entities subscribed to by a plurality of users, with each of the plurality of entities being a tagged entity associated with a tag. The method further includes identifying a media item associated with one or more tagged entities of the plurality of entities, determining, based on the subscription data, a user of the plurality of users that is subscribed to the tagged entities of the media item, and providing the media item to the user. Other associated systems and methods are also provided.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- maintaining subscription data that is stored in a subscription data store, the subscription data specifying a plurality of entities that are each followed by one or more of a plurality of users, each of the plurality of entities being a tagged entity associated with a tag;
- identifying a media item associated with one or more tagged entities of the plurality of entities, wherein the one or more tagged entities are depicted in the media item;
- determining, based on the subscription data, a user of the plurality of users that follows the one or more tagged entities depicted in the media item;
- providing, for presentation to the user, the media item depicting the one or more tagged entities that are followed by the user;
- identifying a channel of media items that includes the media item depicting the one or more tagged entities followed by the user;
- and
- recommending to the user to follow the channel that includes the media item depicting the one or more tagged entities followed by the user.
A system comprising:
- a memory storing instructions thereon;
- and
- a processing device communicably coupled to the memory, the processing device executing the instructions to:
- maintain subscription data that is stored in a subscription data store, the subscription data specifying a plurality of entities that are each followed by one or more of a plurality of users, each of the plurality of entities being a tagged entity associated with a tag;
- identify a media item associated with one or more tagged entities of the plurality of entities, wherein the one or more tagged entities are depicted in the media item;
- determine, based on the subscription data, a user of the plurality of users that follows the one or more tagged entities depicted in the media item;
- provide, for presentation to the user, the media item depicting the one or more tagged entities that are followed by the user;
- identify a channel of media items that includes the media item depicting the one or more tagged entities followed by the user;
- and
- recommend to the user to follow the channel that includes the media item depicting the one or more tagged entities followed by the user.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
- maintaining subscription data that is stored in a subscription data store, the subscription data specifying a plurality of entities that are each followed by one or more of a plurality of users, each of the plurality of entities being a tagged entity associated with a tag;
- identifying a media item associated with one or more tagged entities of the plurality of entities, wherein the one or more tagged entities are depicted in the media item;
- determining, based on the subscription data, a user of the plurality of users that follows the one or more tagged entities depicted in the media item;
- providing, for presentation to the user, the media item depicting the one or more tagged entities that are followed by the user;
- identifying a channel of media items that includes the media item depicting the one or more tagged entities followed by the user;
- and
- recommending to the user to follow the channel that includes the media item depicting the one or more tagged entities followed by the user.
