METRICS-BASED ACCESSING OF SOCIAL THREADS
First Claim
1. A method of accessing feeds based on one or more feed metrics, the method comprising:
- receiving inferential user interaction data generated in response to explicit behavior of a plurality of users in relation to a plurality of feeds, the inferential user interaction data indicating implicit user behavior of the plurality of users, the inferential user interaction data captured in response to one of client software operating on a computing device and a browser plug-in;
determining, using one or more processors of a computing device, one or more feed metrics based on statistics of the inferential user interaction data for the plurality of users;
processing the one or more feed metrics with respect to the plurality of feeds; and
altering a characteristic associated with at least one feed based on the one or more processed feed metrics.

Abstract
A method of accessing feeds based on metrics is provided. Feeds, each associated with an object stored in a database system, are provided to users of the database system. Inferential user interaction data captures implicit user behavior of users of the database system, wherein the data is generated in relation to a feed. Feed metrics are determined based on the user interaction data, wherein a feed metric is based upon statistics comprising user consumption, user responsiveness, content proliferation, and feed life. Finally, an action is executed in relation to at least one feed based on the feed metrics, wherein the action comprises discontinuing the feed, characterizing a feed, determining that a feed can be monetized, determining that a feed should be cached, or determining that intervention in a feed is advisable.
