Abstract

Edited and non-edited multimedia content from a plurality of sources is formatted as a standardized data feed. The standardized data feed is correlating with a syndicated data feed as an aggregated data feed. The aggregated data feed is presented for display at a device.

Claims

1. A method of presenting content, comprising:

formatting edited and non-edited multimedia content from a plurality of sources as a standardized data feed;

correlating the standardized data feed with a syndicated data feed as an aggregated data feed; and

presenting the aggregated data feed for display at a device.

2. The method according to claim 1,

wherein the non-edited multimedia content comprises audio, graphics and video files.

3. The method according to claim 1,

wherein the non-edited multimedia content comprises sensor, location and calendar data.

4. The method according to claim 1,

wherein the device is a computing device, personal digital assistant, mobile phone or pager.

5. The method according to claim 1,

wherein the aggregated data feed is searchable by a user.

6. The method according to claim 1,

wherein the aggregated data feed is automatically sent to a user device.

7. The method according to claim 6,

wherein the user device comprises a mobile device.

8. A system of presenting content, comprising:

a formatter that formats edited and non-edited multimedia content from a plurality of sources as a standardized data feed;

a correlator that correlates the standardized data feed with a syndicated data feed as an aggregated data feed; and

a presenter that presents the aggregated data feed for display at a device.

9. A system according to claim 8, further comprising:

a content processor that creates a set of description schema attributes for the non-edited multimedia content.

10. A system according to claim 9,

wherein the set of description schema attributes are supplied by a user or are obtained from non-text portions of the non-edited multimedia content.

11. A system according to claim 9, further comprising:

a content database that stores the set of description schema attributes, non-text pointers to non-text content of the non-edited multimedia content and text pointers to the text content of the non-edited multimedia content.

12. A system according to claim 9,

wherein the correlator determines a cluster set of the syndicated data feed and the standardized data feed based on the set of description schema attributes and standardized source attributes for the syndicated data feed based on criteria specified by a user query.

13. A system according to claim 8,

wherein the aggregated data feed is published to a web log.

14. A system according to claim 11,

wherein the aggregated data feed comprises the non-text pointers and the text pointers.

15. A system according to claim 8,

wherein the syndicated data feed is formatted according to either really simple syndication format or an atom format.

16. A tangible computer readable medium, storing a computer program recorded on the tangible computer readable medium, that presents content, comprising:

a formatting code segment, recorded on the tangible computer readable medium, that formats edited and non-edited multimedia content from a plurality of sources as a standardized data feed;

a correlating code segment, recorded on the tangible computer readable medium, that correlates the standardized data feed with a syndicated data feed as an aggregated data feed; and

a presenting code segment, recorded on the tangible computer readable medium, that presents the aggregated data feed for display at a device.

17. The tangible computer readable medium according to claim 16,

wherein the non-edited multimedia content comprises text content and non-text content.

18. The tangible computer readable medium according to claim 16, further comprising:

a conversion code segment, recorded on the tangible computer readable medium, that converts a portion of the non-text content into converted text content.

19. The tangible computer readable medium according to claim 17, further comprising:

a description code segment, recorded on the tangible computer readable medium, that determines a set of schema description attributes for the text content and the converted text content.

20. The tangible computer readable medium according to claim 15,

wherein the syndicated data feed is stored separately from the edited and non-edited multimedia content and the syndicated-style data feed.
