1. A computer-implemented method for enabling access to content from a preferred source to a computer user, the method comprising:
- establishing a source of content as a preferred source for a computer user through a first channel;
identifying a plurality of channels other than the first channel through which content from the preferred source is available;
selecting from the identified plurality of channels those channels with which the user interacts; and
enabling the flow of content from the preferred source to the user through the selected channels.

Abstract
Presented in this disclosure are systems and methods for enabling access to content from a preferred source to a computer user is presented. A preferred source is a source of content that a user has identified as being “preferred.” Once a user establishes a source as a preferred source (through a first channel), other channels by which the user can obtain content from the preferred source are identified. In various embodiments, the other channels are automatically enabled for the user or, alternative, presented to the user for opting into receiving the content from that channel.

9. A computer system for enabling access to content from a preferred source to a computer user, the system comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the processor executes instructions stored in the memory as part of or in conjunction with additional components enabling access to content from the preferred source to the computer user, the additional components including:
-
a preferred source store, the preferred source store storing data regarding a plurality of content sources, including one or more channels corresponding to each content source by which content from the corresponding content source can be accessed; a user profile store storing user profile information corresponding to a plurality of computer users; a recommendation component, that in response to a user establishing a content source as a preferred source identifies one or more channels related to the preferred source; and an enablement component that enables the user to access content from the preferred source through at least one of the identified channels. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
