## Abstract

A system is provided that permits the use of classification information that can be interpreted by a computer system. To this end, a system and method may be provided for creating classification information that may be interpreted by a computer system. Such classification information may be associated with content, and permit a computer system to process the content based on the classification information. In one example, classification information may be associated by a user, system, or process with a portion of content, and a computer system processes the content based on the classification information. For instance, the classification information may cause content to be processed in a particular way, be presented to a user by a particular application program, cause the content to be forwarded to a particular user, or otherwise influence how the content is handled.

## Claims

### Claim 1

(canceled)

### Claim 2

A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving a request from a first user to subscribe to Uniform Resource Locators (“URLs”) collected from a second user of a plurality of users, wherein the second user is different than the first user;
collecting information corresponding to a URL of a Web page posted by the second user; and
in response to the request from the first user and the information collected from the second user, sending, for presentation to the first user, at least a portion of the information corresponding to the URL of the Web page.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The computer-implemented method of claim 2, wherein the URL is included in a bookmark data collected from the second user.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The computer-implemented method of claim 3, wherein the bookmark data includes a tag that specifies how information from the Web page of the URL will be presented.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The computer-implemented method of claim 2, wherein collecting further includes:
collecting a ranking data that indicates a ranking of the URL among a plurality of URLs for a plurality of Web pages.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The computer-implemented method of claim 2, further comprising:
receiving a classification data for the URL.

### Claim 7

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions which, when processed by one or more processors, cause at least:
collecting, over one or more networks from a plurality of users, Uniform Resource Locators (“URL”) of a plurality of Web pages posted by the plurality of users;
receiving a request from a first user to subscribe to URLs collected from a second user of the plurality of users, wherein the second user is different than the first user; and
in response to the request, sending, for presentation to the first user, an indication of a URL collected from the second user.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media as recited in claim 7, further comprising additional instructions which, when processed by the one or more processors, cause at least:
providing a subscription feature that allows the first user to subscribe to URLs collected from the second user.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media as recited in claim 8, wherein the subscription feature allows the first user to subscribe to URLs collected from the second user and subscribe to URLs collected from a third user of the plurality of users.

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media as recited in claim 7, wherein the URL is included in a bookmark data collected from the second user.

### Claim 11 (depends on 7)

The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media as recited in claim 7, further comprising additional instructions which, when processed by the one or more processors, cause at least:
collecting, from the second user, one or more tags corresponding to the URL.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media as recited in claim 11, wherein the one or more tags specify how information from a Web page of the URL will be presented.

### Claim 13 (depends on 7)

The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media as recited in claim 7, further comprising additional instructions which, when processed by the one or more processors, cause at least:
collecting a ranking data of the URL among a plurality of URLs.

### Claim 14 (depends on 7)

The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media as recited in claim 7, further comprising additional instructions which, when processed by the one or more processors, cause at least:
allowing the first user to view URLs collected from the second user.

### Claim 15 (depends on 7)

The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media as recited in claim 7, further comprising additional instructions which, when processed by the one or more processors, cause at least:
receiving classification data selected for the URL; and
storing the classification data with the URL.

### Claim 16 (depends on 7)

The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media as recited in claim 7, further comprising additional instructions which, when processed by the one or more processors, cause at least:
