Abstract

A system and a method of segmenting information, is provided where a user may select a topic from a displayed topic list, including a question indicative of the topic and a response which then displays correlated content to the response. Another option is for the user to select a pre-generated compounded statement, where upon selecting, the correlated content is displayed. The correlated content is provided a priority and specific sequence, where the user may select a filter from a plurality of filters and there are options to remove and/or switch responses. An opposite correlated content is also provided, that is opposite responses to the correlated content and a public content is that is indicative of what is popular among the public. The user is provided with a tracking overlay comprising a rating panel, including rating factors, and a selecting panel, including commands for sorting the correlated content.

Claims

1. ) A computer-implemented method comprising:

displaying a prompt and a plurality of responses to a first user;

receiving a first chosen response selected from said plurality of responses from said first user;

displaying said prompt and said plurality of responses to a second user;

receiving a second chosen response selected from said plurality of responses from said second user; and

displaying a content to said second user based on correlation between said first chosen response and said second chosen response.

2. ) The method of claim 1 wherein said prompt is a question.

3. ) The method of claim 2 wherein said plurality of responses is a list of answers to said question.

4. ) The method of claim 1 wherein said prompt is a content.

5. ) The method of claim 1 wherein said plurality of responses includes a rating.

6. ) The method of claim 1 wherein said plurality of responses includes a ranking.

7. ) The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of displaying an option to remove said prompt and said plurality of responses to said user.

8. ) The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of:

displaying said content and a content response to said first user;

receiving a first user selection of said content response; and

wherein said displaying said content to said second user is also partially based on said first user selection of said content response.

9. ) The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of:

receiving a second user selection of said content response; and

displaying an updated content to said second user partially based on said second user selection of said content response.

10. ) The method of claim 1 wherein said content is one of movies, music, concerts, television shows, books, games, toys, electronics, restaurants, vehicles, travel, real estate, schools, products, services, stores and/or advertisements.

11. ) The method of claim 1 wherein said content is one of animals, lawyers, doctors, service providers, dates, and/or other users.

12. ) A method comprising:

displaying a prompt and a plurality of responses to a first user;

displaying an option to remove said prompt to said first user;

receiving a first user selection either of a chosen response selected from said plurality of responses or of said option to remove from said first user; and

after receiving a chosen response, generating a content to said first user partially based on said first user selection from said plurality of responses.

13. ) The method of claim 12 further comprising:

displaying a prompt and a plurality of responses to a second user;

displaying an option to remove said prompt to a second user;

after receiving a chosen response, generating a content to said second user partially based on said first user selection from said plurality of responses.

14. ) The method of claim 12 further comprising displaying an updated prompt and an updated plurality of responses to said first user after receiving said first user selection of said option to remove.

15. ) The method of claim 12 further comprising the step of displaying a sub-prompt and a sub-response to said user after receiving said selection.

16. ) The method of claim 12 wherein said content is generated according to a prior user'"'"'s correlation of a response and a content.

17. ) The method of claim 12 wherein said content is one of movies, music, concerts, television shows, books, games, toys, electronics, restaurants, vehicles, travel, real estate, schools, products, services, stores and/or advertisements.

18. ) The method of claim 12 wherein said content is one of animals, lawyers, doctors, service providers, dates, and/or other users.

19. ) A method comprising:

displaying a prompt to a first user;

receiving a first selection of a response to said prompt from said first user;

receiving a first user rating of a content;

displaying said prompt to a second user;

receiving a second selection of a response to said prompt from said second user; and

displaying said content to said second user partially based on correlation between said first selection of a response and said second selection of a response.

20. ) The method of claim 19, wherein said content is displayed according to a priority.
