METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COLLECTING AND DISSEMINATING INFORMATION OVER A COMPUTER NETWORK
First Claim
1. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to:
- access content published within a computer network by a first entity;
detect an association between content published within the computer network by a second entity and the content published by the first entity;
quantify a degree of presence within the computer network assigned to the first entity based at least in part on the detected association; and
send to a compute device associated with a third entity a signal representing the degree of presence assigned to the first entity.

Abstract
The apparatus comprises at least one database for storing digital information associated with at least a first user and a second user, at least one links module for the first user and for the second user, at least one manipulations module and at least one display device for respectively displaying at least said linked digital information wherein said linked digital information associated with said first user is automatically updated on at least said display device of said second user when that information is manipulated, and wherein said linked digital information associated with said second user is automatically updated on at least said display device of said first user when that information is manipulated.

13. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to:
-
access content published within a computer network by a first entity; detect a first association between content published within the computer network by a second entity and the content published by the first entity; quantify a first degree of presence within the computer network assigned to the first entity based at least in part on the detected first association; access content published within the computer network by a third entity; detect a second association between content published within the computer network by a fourth entity and the content published by the third entity; detect a third association between content published within the computer network by a fifth entity and the content published by the third entity; quantify a second degree of presence within the computer network assigned to the third entity based at least in part on the detected second association and the detected third association; rank the third entity better than the first entity based on the second degree of presence being greater than the first degree of presence. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
