Abstract
A method for recommending content via social signals is provided. Two different content sets having content objects that have content-identifying information are received from separate content providers. Social graph information is received from a service provider. A portion of the first content set and a portion of the second content set are aggregated based at least in part on the social graph information, thereby generating a third content set.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a system that comprises one or more processors, information about a plurality of content items;
- wherein the plurality of content items include content items available from a plurality of distinct content providers;
- receiving, at the system, social graph information from a first social network service provider;
- wherein the social graph information includes information about a social graph of a particular user;
- based, at least in part, on which content items, of the plurality of content items, match social signals in the social graph of the particular user, the system selecting a particular set of content items from the plurality of content items;
- and
- sending, from the system to a client computing device that is associated with the particular user, data that is based on the particular set of content items;
- wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.
One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform:
- receiving, at a system the includes the one or more processors, information about a plurality of content items;
- wherein the plurality of content items include content items available from a plurality of distinct content providers;
- receiving, at the system, social graph information from a first social network service provider;
- wherein the social graph information includes information about a social graph of a particular user;
- based, at least in part, on which content items, of the plurality of content items, match social signals in the social graph of the particular user, the system selecting a particular set of content items from the plurality of content items;
- and
- sending, from the system to a client computing device that is associated with the particular user, data that is based on the particular set of content items.
A system comprising one or more processors, the system being programmed to cause the one or more processors to perform:
- receiving, at the system, information about a plurality of content items;
- wherein the plurality of content items include content items available from a plurality of distinct content providers;
- receiving, at the system, social graph information from a first social network service provider;
- wherein the social graph information includes information about a social graph of a particular user;
- based, at least in part, on which content items, of the plurality of content items, match social signals in the social graph of the particular user, the system selecting a particular set of content items from the plurality of content items;
- and
- sending, from the system to a client computing device that is associated with the particular user, data that is based on the particular set of content items.
