Abstract

A syndication platform provides a supplemental feed of most-viewed items in a syndicated data feed.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

publishing a first feed, the first feed including a plurality of items;

monitoring remote accesses to the plurality of items;

analyzing the remote accesses to identify a most-viewed subset of the plurality of items; and

publishing a second feed, the second feed consisting of the most-viewed subset of the plurality of items.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the most-viewed subset is determined for a time period of one hour.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the most-viewed subset is determined for a time period of one day.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the most-viewed subset is determined for a time period of one week.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the most-viewed subset is determined for a time period of one month.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the most-viewed subset consists of ten items.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein monitoring remote accesses to the plurality of items includes measuring a number of views.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein monitoring remote accesses to the plurality of items includes measuring a number of citations.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein analyzing the remote accesses includes filtering the plurality of items to identify one or more of the plurality of items containing multimedia attachments.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein the second feed consists of items having at least one multimedia attachment.

11. A computer program product comprising computer executable code that when executing on one or more computer devices performs the steps of:

publishing a first feed, the first feed including a plurality of items;

monitoring remote accesses to the plurality of items;

analyzing the remote accesses to identify a most-viewed subset of the plurality of items; and

publishing a second feed, the second feed consisting of the most-viewed subset of the plurality of items.

12. The computer program product of claim 11 wherein the most-viewed subset is determined for a time period of one hour.

13. The computer program product of claim 11 wherein the most-viewed subset is determined for a time period of one day.

14. The computer program product of claim 11 wherein the most-viewed subset is determined for a time period of one week.

15. The computer program product of claim 11 wherein the most-viewed subset is determined for a time period of one month.

16. The computer program product of claim 11 wherein the most-viewed subset consists of ten items.

17. The computer program product of claim 11 wherein monitoring remote accesses to the plurality of items includes measuring a number of views.

18. The computer program product of claim 11 wherein monitoring remote accesses to the plurality of items includes measuring a number of citations.

19. The computer program product of claim 11 wherein analyzing the remote accesses includes filtering the plurality of items to identify one or more of the plurality of items containing multimedia attachments.

20. The computer program product of claim 19 wherein the second feed consists of items having at least one multimedia attachment.
