Claims20
A method of indicating a user's preference for content, at a preference system comprising one or more processors, the method comprising:
- receiving from a first user, via an interface of the preference system, a positive preference event regarding a first content item displayed in the interface;
- and
- after receiving the positive preference event, operating the one or more processors to:
- immediately update the interface as displayed to the first user to display a control with the first content item;
- receive from the first user, via the interface, a selection of the control;
- in response to selection of the control, immediately update the interface as displayed to a second user to identify the first content item as a favorite content item of the first user;
- and
- color-code favorite content items of the first user, including the first content item and a second content item, as presented via the interface, based on ages of the favorite content items.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method of indicating a user's preference for content at a preference system, the method comprising:
- receiving from a first user, via an interface of the preference system, a positive preference event regarding a first content item displayed in the interface;
- in response to the positive preference event, immediately updating the interface as displayed to the first user to display a control with the first content item;
- receiving from the first user, via the interface, a selection of the control;
- in response to selection of the control, immediately updating the interface as displayed to a second user to identify the first content item as a favorite content item of the first user;
- and
- color-coding favorite content items of the first user, including the first content item and a second content item, as presented via the interface, based on ages of the favorite content items.
A preference system for indicating a user's preference for content, the preference system including:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory coupled with the one or more processors, wherein the memory is configured to provide the one or more processors with instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to:
- accept from a first user a positive preference event regarding a first content item presented to the first user via an interface;
- in response to the positive preference event, immediately modify the interface to include a control proximate to the first content item;
- receive from the first user a selection of the control;
- and
- in response to receipt of the selection of the control:
- include the first content item among a set of favorite content items of the first user;
- immediately modify the interface as presented to a second user to identify the first content item as a favorite of the first user;
- and
- color-code the favorite content items of the first user, including the first content item and a second content item, as presented to the first user via the interface, based on ages of the favorite content items.
