A computer-implemented method comprising:
- associating a first interest with a user, wherein content related to the first interest is provided to the user;
- recognizing an event associated with the first interest;
- based on a second interest being related to the event, temporarily associating the second interest with the user, wherein content related to the first interest and content related to the second interest are provided to the user at or near an occurrence of the event;
- and
- disassociating the second interest from the user at a time after completion of the event.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- associating a first handle with a user, wherein one or more social posts related to the first handle are provided to the user, and wherein the first handle corresponds with a first entity;
- recognizing an event associated with the first entity;
- based on a second entity being related to the event, temporarily associating a second handle with the user, the second handle corresponding with the second entity, wherein social posts related to the first handle and social posts related to the second handle are provided to the user at or near an occurrence of the event;
- and
- disassociating the second handle from the user at a time after completion of the event.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- associating a first interest with a user, wherein content related to the first interest is provided to the user;
- recognizing a second interest associated with the first interest based on an increase in content related to both the first interest and the second interest;
- based on the second interest being associated with the first interest, temporarily associating the second interest with the user, wherein content related to the first interest and content related to the second interest are provided to the user during the increase in the content related to both the first interest and the second interest;
