Abstract
The system provides a technique for finding relevant content and content sources based on the aggregation and analysis of individual indications of relevance. The system identifies and provides selections of relevant content. It may comprise a selection acquisition subsystem, a selection network repository subsystem, a scoring engine, and a recommendation engine, and is used to generate sources of content comprising sets of prioritized links directed to a topic or community of interest.
Claims19
A computer implemented method comprising:
- identifying one or more secondary sources of content based at least in part on an overlap of
- one or more links associated with the secondary sources of content, and
- links associated with a set of one or more primary sources of content, wherein
- the overlap indicates an extent to which the secondary sources of content comprise links that are comprised in the set of one or more primary sources of content,
- the links associated with the set of one or more primary sources of content are comprised in a topic linkset, and
- generating the topic linkset comprises
- detecting that a first set of the one or more of the links associated with the set of one or more primary sources of content is not relevant to a topic associated with the topic linkset, and
- excluding the first set of the one or more links from the topic linkset;
- assigning primary source scores to primary sources of content in the topic;
- assigning secondary source scores to secondary sources of content, wherein said assigning said secondary source scores is based on an amount of overlap of a linkset of the secondary source and the topic linkset;
- assigning URL scores to the links associated with the primary and secondary sources of content, wherein the assigning the URL scores comprises
- adding scores of each of primary and secondary sources that links to at least one of the links associated with the primary and secondary sources of content;
- and
- generating, based at least in part on the URL scores, a source of content comprising one or more recommended links selected from the links associated with the primary and secondary sources of content.

A system comprising:
- a general purpose computing device;
- a computer memory, having stored thereon computer program instructions executable by the computing device, wherein the computer program instructions are executable to cause the computing device to
- identify one or more secondary sources of content based at least in part on an overlap of
- one or more links associated with the secondary sources of content, and
- links associated with a set of one or more primary sources of content, wherein
- the overlap indicates an extent to which the secondary sources of content comprise links that are comprised in the set of one or more primary sources of content,
- the links associated with the set of one or more primary sources of content are comprised in a topic linkset, and
- generating the topic linkset comprises
- detecting that a first set of the one or more of the links associated with the set of one or more primary sources of content is not relevant to a topic associated with the topic linkset, and
- excluding the first set of the one or more links from the topic linkset;
- assign secondary source scores to secondary sources of content, wherein said scoring is based on amount of overlap of linkset of the secondary source and the topic linkset of the primary sources;
- assign URL scores to the links associated with the primary and secondary sources of content by adding the scores of each of primary and secondary sources that links to the URL;
- and
- generate, based at least in part on the URL scores, a source of content comprising one or more recommended links selected from the links associated with the primary and secondary sources of content.

A computer-readable storage device having computer-executable instructions stored therein, wherein the instructions are executable by a computer to perform the acts of:
- identifying one or more secondary sources of content based at least in part on an overlap of
- one or more links associated with the secondary sources of content, and
- links associated with a set of one or more primary sources of content, wherein
- the overlap indicates an extent to which the secondary sources of content comprise links that are comprised in the set of one or more primary sources of content,
- the links associated with the set of one or more primary sources of content are comprised in a topic linkset, and
- generating the topic linkset comprises
- detecting that a first set of the one or more of the links associated with the set of one or more primary sources of content is not relevant to a topic associated with the topic linkset, and
- excluding the first set of the one or more links from the topic linkset;
- assigning secondary source scores to secondary sources of content, wherein said scoring is based on amount of overlap of linkset of the secondary source and the topic linkset of the primary sources;
- assigning URL scores to the links associated with the primary and secondary sources of content by adding the scores of each of primary and secondary sources that links to the URL;
- and generating, based at least in part on the URL scores, and
- generating, based at least in part on the URL scores, a source of content comprising one or more recommended links selected from the links associated with the primary and secondary sources of content.
9 more elements
A system comprising:
- a processor configured for identifying one or more secondary sources of content based at least in part on an overlap of
- one or more links associated with the secondary sources of content, and
- links associated with a set of one or more primary sources of content, wherein
- the overlap indicates an extent to which the secondary sources of content comprise links that are comprised in the set of one or more primary sources of content,
- the links associated with the set of one or more primary sources of content are comprised in a topic linkset, and
- generating the topic linkset comprises
- detecting that a first set of the one or more of the links associated with the set of one or more primary sources of content is not relevant to a topic associated with the topic linkset, and
- excluding the first set of the one or more links from the topic linkset;
- means for assigning primary source scores to the one or more primary sources of content;
- means for assigning secondary source scores to secondary sources of content, wherein said scoring is based on amount of overlap of linkset of the secondary source and the topic linkset of the primary sources;
- means for assigning URL scores to the links associated with the primary and secondary sources of content by adding the scores of each of primary and secondary sources that links to the URL;
- and
- means for generating, based at least in part on the URL scores, a source of content comprising one or more recommended links selected from the links associated with the primary and secondary sources of content.
