Abstract
The invention provides enhancements for the use of favorites during a Web browsing session. A first enhancement identifies when a user is adding a favorite to his favorites list and auto-suggests a category under which the favorite could be stored. A second enhancement allows a user to review his favorites list and see a summary of feed content (RSS or other standard) on each feed enabled page on his favorites list, without requiring the user to link to the page in question. A third enhancement allows the user to view an manipulate the feed in an independent display window.

- receiving, via the user device, input specifying a user operation associated with at least one of the one or more feed enabled pages;
- providing, to at least one server, data associated with the user operation;
- and
- in response to the user operation associated with at least one of the one or more feed-enabled pages, displaying a tearoff object in a persistent window separate from the window of the web browser.
A system for providing persistent access to a data feed listing in a web page, the system comprising:
- a memory device that stores instructions for providing persistent access to a data feed listing in a web page;
- one or more processors that, when executing the instructions, are configured to:
- display, on a user device, a window of a web browser;
- display, in the window of the web browser, a list linking to one or more feed-enabled pages;
- receive, via the user device, input specifying a user operation associated with at least one of the one or more feed enabled pages;
- provide, to at least one server, data associated with the user operation;
- and
- in response to the user operation associated with at least one of the one or more feed-enabled pages, display a tearoff object in a persistent window separate from the window of the web browser.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, configure the one or more processors to perform a method for providing persistent access to a data feed listing in a web page, the method comprising:
- displaying, on a user device, a window of a web browser;
- displaying, in the window of the web browser, a list linking to one or more feed-enabled pages;
- receiving, via the user device, input specifying a user operation associated with at least one of the one or more feed enabled pages;
- providing, to at least one server, data associated with the user operation;
