Abstract
A method and system for delivering highly relevant content, and removing irrelevant content, to a community of users over a conversational network platform. The embodiments of the present disclosure allow user-submitted content to be dynamically organized by “most trending” or “most important” by aggregating and evaluating user votes. User votes may expire according to a specified period of time to allow the system to determine relevancy of the content. An embodiment provides a forum for users to view and contribute content specifically tailored to individual entities, such that every instance of system content (including comments and votes) is related to one specific entity.
Claims20
A system for targeted social media content ranking comprising:
- a content classification module, the content classification module being configured to accept a content input from a communications interface and classify the content input based on system and user parameters to determine content input relevance;
- a multidimensional database engine, the multidimensional database engine being configured to store content input across dimensional hierarchies according to content category parameters communicated by the content classification module;
- an applications module configured to display the content input stored in the multidimensional database engine across one or more Web pages, and accept a user action on displayed content over a graphical user interface;
- and,
- an expiration module configured to aggregate the user actions on displayed content, the expiration module further comprising a timing module configured to assign a time limit on content input display over the applications module in response to the user action, the expiration module configured to remove content from the applications module in response to an expired content time limit.
A system for analyzing a social media of postings published over a Web platform comprising:
- an aggregation module, the aggregation module configured to aggregate content threads and sub-threads of social media postings, and a plurality of votes submitted by Internet users in response to the content threads and sub-threads;
- and,
- a timing module, the timing module configured to assign a timer to the content threads and sub-threads in response to submission by an Internet user over the Web platform, the timer being reset in response to a vote submission, and further configured to remove content from the Web platform in response to timer expiration.
A computer-implemented method for delivering targeted social media content to a user comprising:
- aggregating comments and user votes in response to a social media posting;
- ranking the social media posting based on comment and user vote parameters, the parameters being manipulated dynamically based on content classification and system administrator settings;
- displaying the social media posting over one or more Web pages according to ranking parameters;
- and,
- removing the social media posting from the one or more Web pages according to relevance parameters determined by a timing module, the timing module being configured to set a relevance time limit according to a frequency of comments and user votes in response to the social media posting.
