Abstract
Methods and systems for curating notifications from unfollowed accounts are described herein. The system tracks that a first account previously followed a second account and subsequently unfollowed the second account. The system identifies an interest of the first account and monitors the activities of the second account for activity that matches the interest. If there is a match between the interest and an activity of the second account, the system notifies the first account of the activity. These methods and systems provide the user with relevant information from unfollowed accounts.
