Abstract
The invention provides two enhancements for the use of favorites during a Web browsing session. A first enhancement identifies when a user is adding a favorite to his favorites list and auto-suggests a category under which the favorite could be stored. A second enhancement allows a user to review his favorites list and see a summary of feed content (RSS or other standard) on each feed enabled page on his favorites list, without requiring the user to link to the page in question.
Claims19
A computer-implemented method for storing a link to a web page, the method comprising the following operations performed by at least one processor:
- receiving a request to store the link;
- identifying, in response to the request, a folder based at least in part on an analysis of a universal resource locator (URL) of the web page;
- presenting the identified folder as a suggested folder in which to store the link;
- determining that a first list of links stored at a client device is an older version than a second list of links stored at a server;
- and
- sending the second list of links to the client device based on the determination.
A system for storing a link to a web page, comprising:
- a memory that stores instructions;
- and
- one or more processors that, when executing the instructions, are configured to:
- receive a request to store the link;
- identify, in response to the request, a folder based at least in part on an analysis of a universal resource locator (URL) of the web page;
- present the identified folder as a suggested folder in which to store the link;
- determine that a first list of links stored at a client device is an older version than a second list of links stored at a server;
- and
- send the second list of links to the client device based on the determination.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, configure the one or more processors to perform a method, the method comprising:
- receiving a request to store the link;
- identifying, in response to the request, a folder based at least in part on an analysis of a universal resource locator (URL) of the web page;
- presenting the identified folder as a suggested folder in which to store the link;
