Abstract

A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product of managing and sharing entries into a webpage are presented. The computer-implemented method receives an input to an input box located in a first webpage on a first network. This input is analyzed to determine its subject matter, and is then migrated into an appropriate subject box on the webpage. In one embodiment, the input is then shared with another webpage, for the same user, which is on a second network.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method of managing data in a webpage, the computer-implemented method comprising:

configuring a specific processor with computer-executable instructions, that when executed, perform the steps of;

receiving an input of entered data from a text entry box on a first webpage that is on a first network;

determining a subject topic of the entered data;

matching the subject topic with a matching interest window on the first webpage, wherein the matching interest window is reserved for data entries that are described by the subject topic; and

in response to the subject topic for the entered data matching the matching interest window, populating the matching interest window with the entered data that matches the subject topic of the interest window to create an updated interest window.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the first network is a first social network, and wherein the computer-implemented method further comprises:

migrating a copy of the updated interest window to a second webpage that is on a second social network, wherein the first webpage and the second webpage are social webpages for a same person.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2, wherein the copy of the updated interest window is migrated from the first webpage to the second webpage via a peer-to-peer move.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 2, wherein the copy of the updated interest window is migrated from the first webpage to the second webpage via a shared database server.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising:

matching the subject topic to a second interest window on a second webpage that is on a second social network; and

updating the second interest window with the entered data from the first webpage.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, wherein the second interest window is updated with the entered data from the first webpage via a peer-to-peer move.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, wherein the second interest window is updated with the entered data from the first webpage via a shared database server.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, wherein the first interest window and the second interest window have different titles, and wherein the computer-implemented method further comprises:

mapping the first interest window to the second interest window.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising:

in response to determining that the first webpage contains no interest window that matches the subject topic, creating a new interest window in the first webpage that matches the subject topic.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the subject topic of the entered data is determined by matching at least two words from the entered data to entries from a list of keywords that describe the subject topic.

13. The tangible computer-readable storage medium of claim 11, further comprising:

sixth program instructions for matching the subject topic to a second interest window on a second webpage that is on a second social network; and

seventh program instructions for populating the second interest window with the entered data from the first webpage.

11. A tangible computer-readable storage medium on which is encoded a computer program, the computer-readable storage medium comprising:

first program instructions for receiving an input of entered data from a text entry box on a first webpage that is on a first network;

second program instructions for determining a subject topic of the entered data;

third program instructions for matching the subject topic with an interest window on the first webpage, wherein the interest window is reserved for entries that are described by the subject topic;

fourth program instructions for populating the interest window with the entered data that matches the subject topic of the interest window to create a populated interest window; and

wherein

the first, second, third, and fourth program instructions are stored on said computer-readable storage medium.

12. The tangible computer-readable storage medium of claim 11, wherein the first network is a first social network, and wherein the tangible computer-readable storage medium further comprises:

fifth program instructions for migrating a copy of the populated interest window to a second webpage that is on a second social network.

14. The tangible computer-readable medium of claim 11, further comprising:

eighth program instructions for, in response to determining that the first webpage has no interest window that matches the subject topic, creating a new interest window in the first webpage that matches the subject topic.

15. The tangible computer-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the subject topic of the entered data is determined by matching at least two words from the entered data to entries from a list of keywords that describe the subject topic.

16. A system comprising:

a processor, a computer readable memory, and a computer readable storage media;

first program instructions for receiving an input of entered data from a text entry box on a first webpage that is on a first social network;

second program instructions for determining a subject topic of the entered data;

third program instructions for matching the subject topic with an interest window on the first webpage, wherein the interest window is reserved for entries that are described by the subject topic; and

fourth program instructions for populating the interest window with the entered data that matches the subject topic of the interest window to create a populated interest window; and

wherein

said first, second, third, and fourth program instructions are stored on said computer readable storage media for execution by said processor via said computer readable memory.

17. The system of claim 16, further comprising:

fifth program instructions for migrating a copy of the populated interest window to a second webpage that is on a second social network, wherein said fifth program instructions are stored on said computer readable storage media for execution by said processor via said computer readable memory.

18. The system of claim 16, further comprising:

sixth program instructions for matching the subject topic to a second interest window on a second webpage that is on a second social network; and

seventh program instructions for populating the second interest window with the entered data from the first webpage, and wherein

said sixth and seventh program instructions are stored on said computer readable storage media for execution by said processor via said computer readable memory.

19. The system of claim 16, further comprising:

eighth program instructions for, in response to determining that the first webpage has no interest window that matches the subject topic, creating a new interest window in the first webpage that matches the subject topic, wherein said eighth program instructions are stored on said computer readable storage media for execution by said processor via said computer readable memory.

20. The system of claim 16, wherein the subject topic of the entered data is determined by matching at least two words from the entered data to entries from a list of keywords that describe the subject topic.
