Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for allowing a user to categorize, organize, and/or visualize content recommendations made by the user. Various interactive controls are made available to a user who recommends an item of content, where the controls are designed to allow the user to assign one or more attributes (e.g., characteristics, categories, labels, properties, etc.) to the recommendation. A user can also organize content recommendations into one or more categories that can be customized by the user according to subject-matter, content format, recommendation strength, and the like. The user is also provided with the ability to view his or her content recommendations arranged in various graphical representations.

(canceled)
A method comprising:
- identifying, by a server, user content recommendations made by a user through interaction with a user interface, the user content recommendation specifying a reaction of the user to a distinct component of a page that includes multiple different components;
- detecting interaction with a visualize content recommendation history control at a client device;
- in response to detecting the interaction with the visualize content recommendation history control:
- generating a visualization of the user content recommendations that presents a timeline of the user content recommendations and, for each content recommendation, text of the distinct component recommended by the user through the content recommendation;
- and
- providing the visualization for presentation at the client device.
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a computer-readable medium coupled to the at least one processor having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations including:
- identifying user content recommendations made by a user through interaction with a user interface, the user content recommendation specifying a reaction of the user to a distinct component of a page that includes multiple different components;
- detecting interaction with a visualize content recommendation history control at a client device;
- in response to detecting the interaction with the visualize content recommendation history control:
- generating a visualization of the user content recommendations that presents a timeline of the user content recommendations and, for each content recommendation, text of the distinct component recommended by the user through the content recommendation;
- and
- providing the visualization for presentation at the client device.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that upon execution by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- identifying user content recommendations made by a user through interaction with a user interface, the user content recommendation specifying a reaction of the user to a distinct component of a page that includes multiple different components;
- detecting interaction with a visualize content recommendation history control at a client device;
- in response to detecting the interaction with the visualize content recommendation history control:
- generating a visualization of the user content recommendations that presents a timeline of the user content recommendations and, for each content recommendation, text of the distinct component recommended by the user through the content recommendation;
- and
- providing the visualization for presentation at the client device.
