Abstract

In one embodiment, method that can be performed on a system, is provided for fine and course grained authorization of personal feed contents. In one embodiment, the method comprises generating one or more profiles, each profile to receive one or more feeds over a network, the feeds for each profile selected based on one or more of pre-identification of a selected feed and pre-identified content; and for each profile, providing one or more selected users with access to the feeds of the respective profiles.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

Generating one or more profiles, each profile to receive one or more feeds over a network, the feeds for each profile selected based on one or more of pre-identification of a selected feed and pre-identified content;

For each profile, providing one or more selected users with access to the feeds of the respective profiles.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the generating is performed, at least in part, by a primary user, and the selected users are secondary users.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the generating the one or more profiles includes generating a new profile.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the generating the one or more profiles includes copying a prior profile.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein copying another profile further includes one of adding or removing selected feeds of the prior profile.

6. The method of claim 2 further comprising, notifying the secondary users of their access to one or more of feeds or content of feeds of a profile.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the feeds comprise one or more of an Atom and RSS feeds.

8. A system comprising:

A unit to generate one or more profiles, each profile to receive one or more feeds over a network, the feeds for each profile selected based on one or more of pre-identification of a selected feed and pre-identified content;

A unit to provide, For each profile, one or more selected users with access to the feeds of the respective profiles.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the unit to generate is to be utilized, at least in part, by a primary user, and the selected users are secondary users.

10. The system of claim 8, wherein the unit to generate the one or more profiles is to generate a new profile.

11. The system of claim 8, wherein the unit to generate the one or more profiles is to copy a prior profile.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the unit to generate is to copying a prior profile and to add or remove selected feeds of the prior profile.

13. The system of claim 9 further comprising, a unit to notify the secondary users of their access to one or more of feeds or content of feeds of a profile.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the feeds comprise one or more of an Atom and RSS feeds.

15. A machine-readable medium having stored thereon a set of instructions which when executed perform a method comprising:

Generating one or more profiles, each profile to receive one or more feeds over a network, the feeds for each profile selected based on one or more of pre-identification of a selected feed and pre-identified content;

For each profile, providing one or more selected users with access to the feeds of the respective profiles.

16. The machine-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the generating is performed, at least in part, by a primary user, and the selected users are secondary users.

17. The machine-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the generating the one or more profiles includes generating a new profile.

18. The machine-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the generating the one or more profiles includes copying a prior profile.

19. The machine-readable medium of claim 18, wherein copying another profile further includes one of adding or removing selected feeds of the prior profile.

20. The machine-readable medium of claim 16 further comprising, notifying the secondary users of their access to one or more of feeds or content of feeds of a profile.
