- detecting a selection of the article on the internet property for viewing by a user;
retrieving one or more comments and interactions provided by one or more posters for the article, wherein the posters are independent contributors without a prior social relationship with the user;
presenting a select subset of the comments and interactions for the article to the user in an ordered list based on an association strength associated with the one or more posters;
monitoring interaction by the user with at least one comment or interaction provided by a poster, the interaction being a comment or action provided by the user in response to the comment or interaction of the poster; and

Abstract
Methods, system and computer readable medium for allowing user interaction to an article on an Internet property includes detecting a selection of the article for viewing, by a user. Comments and interactions for the article provided by one or more posters are retrieved, wherein the posters are independent contributors that are not related to the user. A select subset of the comments/interactions for the article are presented to the user in an ordered list based on an association strength between the user and each of the posters related to the subset of the comments/interactions. Interaction, by the user, with a comment/interaction provided by a poster, is monitored and the association strength between the user and the relevant poster is updated based on the interaction. The updated association strength is used to adjust ranking of the comments/interactions for presenting to the user during subsequent selection.

13. A method for allowing user interaction to an article on an internet property, the method implemented by a processor comprising:
-
detecting a selection of the article for viewing by a user; identifying one or more comments and interactions for the article provided by one or more posters that have previously interacted with the user, wherein the posters are independent contributors without a prior social relationship with the user and wherein the interactions between the poster and the user are direct interactions; presenting a select subset of the comments and interactions of the one or more posters for the article to the user in an ordered list based on an association strength between each of the one or more posters and the user; monitoring interactions by the user with a comment or interaction of a poster, the interaction being a comment or action provided by the user in response to the comment or interaction of the poster; and updating the association strength between the user and the poster based on the interaction, the updating used in adjusting ranking of the one or more comments and interactions of the posters presented to the user during subsequent selection. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
