Abstract
A system for recommending feeds for a user comprises a client with a web browser, an application server, and a content server. The browser tracks the user'"'"'s browsing activity and transmits user data related to the user'"'"'s browsing activity to the application server. The application server searches the content server to determine feeds that may be relevant to the user'"'"'s browsing activity and then communicates those feeds to the browser. The browser displays the received feeds to the user as feed recommendations, prompting the user to select from among the recommended feeds. Once the user has selected one or more feeds, the browser transmits the user'"'"'s selection to the application server, which enables the feeds to be presented subsequently to the user. In this way, the system uses the user'"'"'s browsing activity to obtain automatically for a user feeds that are likely to be relevant to the user.
