International Classification:

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705 144, 705 11

Abstract:

The invention in some embodiments features a contextual content delivery system (CCDS) for enhancing conventional web content with pop-up bubbles that display information when a cursor hovers over a word, link, or icon. The CCDS is configured to identify words or links in a document, determine their context, select the appropriate bubble from a plural of bubble types for each of the words or links, select content for each bubble based, in part, on the context in which the words and hyperlinks are used. The context can be determined from various sources including the resource in which the word or link appears and the target resource to which the link points. Thereafter, the CCDS enhances the words or links so that bubbles are automatically invoked in response to the appropriate trigger.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709204

Abstract:

The relative ranking of a network resource on a network in a distributed environment is determined.

Assignee:

MYSPACE LLC - Beverly Hills CA

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709204

Abstract:

A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product provides the ability to track user interaction with content. An interaction with content by a user is recognized. Data related to the interaction is communicated, in a first engagement message, to a publishing service application. The data includes an identity of the user, an identity of the content interacted with, an engagement type, and an identity of the previous user who directly influenced the interaction. The publishing service determines a likelihood that the interaction will cause other users to further interact with the content. Upon a positive determination that the interaction will cause other users to further interact with the content, the determination is communicated to a viral influence application for further processing.

Assignee:

MySpace LLC - Beverly Hills CA

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707723

Abstract:

A method, system, apparatus, and computer program product provides the ability to determine the influence of a user or resource within a pre-defined context. A pre-defined context of activities is provided/defined. Point values are assigned to all activities that may occur within the pre-defined context. All activities for a single user or resource within the pre-defined context are tracked over a period of time. A score value for each activity for the single user or resource within the pre-defined context over a period of time is determined. A raw score is calculated for the single user or resource according to the total of all determined score values. The raw score value is normalized against scores of a population of other users or resources within the pre-determined context to provide a comparative scoring for users or resources.
