AGGREGATIONS FOR TRENDING TOPIC SUMMARIZATION
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- an access component that accesses content types related to a trending topic;
a summary algorithm that selects a specific content type of the accessed content types and creates a summary of the trending topic using items of the specific content type;
a presentation component that presents the items of the specific content type as the summary of the trending topic; and
a microprocessor that executes computer-executable instructions associated with at least one of the access component, the summary algorithm, or the presentation component.

Abstract
Architecture that enables extraction of pieces of content from the Internet, social networks, in particular, and/or of a user'"'"'s immediate circle of friends and family, where the content relates to trending topics of those networks as relevant to a search query. The content effectively summarizes a trending topic (e.g., of a single social network or across multiple social networks). The summary can be characterized by different content types, such as images only, text only, and so on. The extracted content can then be presented in a number of different ways such as in a display that visually rotates through the different types of content, such as trending images, summarizing updates, and trending webpages, for example. Another technique for presentation of the extracted social content can be as user-selectable “hotspots” on a page or desktop, and which can display the trending topic summaries.
