Abstract
The invention generally relates to a universal, generic content collection method and system for collecting, storing, and sharing content on the Internet using computers, mobile and/or electronic devices. In one aspect, the invention relates to methods and systems for collecting multiple types of content using a user interface. The method includes activating the user interface associated with the content, wherein the user interface is configurable to be associated with at least two types of content; optionally, providing a list of one or more content collections services, wherein a first content collection service is configured to collect a first type of content and a second content collection service is configured to collect a second type of content; and directing the content to one or more content collection services. The user interface may be a virtual button on a webpage, browser or other screen device, or a physical button on a piece of hardware such as a PDA, mobile phone, watch, etc.

21. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a compute device, the compute device configured to present to a user a user interface associated with information of a first type and information of a second type, the compute device configured to receive a signal indicative of a user selecting to collect the information of the first type, the compute device configured to send, in response to the signal, the information of the first type to a first information collection service such that the information of the first type is stored in a database, the first information collection service being a preferred information collection service of the user to collect information of the first type, the compute device configured to send the information of the second type to a second information collection service. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)

24. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a compute device, the compute device configured to receive a signal indicative of (1) an information of a first type and (2) an information of a second type, the information of the first type being selected on a first user interface and by a user to be collected by an information collection service, the compute device configured to store the information of the first type and the information of the second type such that the information of the first type and the information of the second type are used to define a profile for the user to be used to modify the first user interface to define a second user interface to be presented to the user. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26)

27. A method, comprising:
-
providing, using a compute device, a user interface to be presented to a user on a display, the user interface associated with a first information and a second information; identifying, using the user interface, a first type of information, the first type of information associated with the first information; identifying, using the user interface, a second type of information, the second type of information associated with the second information; sending, using the compute device, the first information to a first information collection service, the first information collection service being a preferred information collection service of the user to collect information associated with the first type of information; and sending, using the compute device, the second information to a second information collection service. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
