1. A method for blending rankings for an output display, the method comprising:
- receiving a first list of content items having a first ranking determined by first ranking parameters, the first ranking providing for a sequential ordering of the content items of the first list;
receiving a second list of content items having a second ranking determined by second ranking parameters, the second ranking providing for a sequential ordering of the content items of the second list, wherein the first ranking of the first list is incompatible with the second ranking of the second list because the first ranking parameters are different from the second ranking parameters;
transforming the first list of content items to a modified first list, the order of the content items from the first list being maintained in the modified first list, wherein the transforming makes the first ranking of the modified first list compatible with the second ranking of the second list,merging the second list and the modified first list to generate a blended list; and

Abstract
A method and system for blending ranking for an output display includes receiving a first list of content items having a first ranking determined by first ranking parameters, the first ranking providing for a sequential ordering of the content items of the first list. A second list of content items having a second ranking determined by second ranking parameters are received, the first ranking is incompatible with the second ranking because ranking parameters are different. The first list of content items is transformed to a modified first list that maintains the order of the content items and makes the first ranking of the modified first list compatible with the second ranking of the second list. The second list and the modified first list are merged to generate a blended list for an output display utilizing the blended list.
