SHARING MEDIA OBJECTS IN A NETWORK
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computer, a media object posted by a member of a network, wherein the member is one of a plurality of members of the network;
calculating, by the computer in response to the receiving, a user-user similarity metric between the member and a second member of the plurality of members of the network;
automatically forwarding, by the computer in response to the user-user similarity metric exceeding a user-user threshold, the media object to the second member.

Abstract
A method, computer readable medium, user component, and system for sharing media object in a network environment are disclosed. A network manager may determine a similarity metric between users of the environment, between media objects, and/or between a user and media objects. Based upon the similarity metric, the network manager may share media objects with another user if the similarity metric exceeds a pre-determined value or is more similar than other retrieved media objects. A user component may also provide a network map manager to display a network map, and may provide a tailored view manager to display a web log associated with at least one of the user icons displayed in the network map.
