Abstract
Displaying a preference by a user of a content contribution is disclosed. A preference event by the user is detected. A plurality of detected events is stored. In response to a query from a client, at least a portion of the stored detected events is stored. At least a portion of the received events is displayed in an interface.
Claims18
A method of displaying a preference by a user of a content contribution comprising:
- detecting a first preference event taken by the user with respect to the content contribution, wherein the content contribution is one in a plurality of content contributions;
- detecting a second preference event taken by the user with respect to a second content contribution;
- storing a plurality of detected events including events taken by other users;
- and in response to a query from a client, sending at least a portion of the stored detected preference events;
- and causing at least a portion of the received events to be displayed in a swarm interface such that a thickness of a line connecting the first and second content contributions indicates the number of users who have taken preference events with respect to the connected content contributions.
A system for displaying a preference by a user of a content contribution, including:
- a processor;
- and a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with instructions which when executed cause the processor to:
- detect a first preference event taken by the user with respect to the content contribution, wherein the content contribution is one in a plurality of content contributions;
- detect a second preference event taken by the user with respect to a second content contribution;
- store a plurality of detected events including events taken by other users;
- and in response to a query from a client, send at least a portion of the stored detected preference events;
- and cause at least a portion of the received events to be displayed in a swarm interface such that a thickness of a line connecting the first and second content contributions indicates the number of users who have taken preference events with respect to the connected content contributions.
A computer program product for displaying a preference by a user of a content contribution, the computer program product being embodied in a computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions for:
- detecting a first preference event taken by the user with respect to the content contribution, wherein the content contribution is one in a plurality of content contributions;
- detecting a second preference event taken by the user with respect to a second content contribution;
- storing a plurality of detected events including evens taken by other users;
- and in response to a query from a client, sending at least a portion of the stored detected preference events;
- and causing at least a portion of the received events to be displayed in a swarm interface such that a thickness of a line connecting the first and second content contributions indicates the number of users who have taken preference events with respect to the connected content contributions.
