System and method of managing community-based and content-based information networks
First Claim
1. An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium including computer-readable instructions stored thereon for causing a processor to perform a method of managing an information network by providing an interface between a social network and a content network, the method comprising:
- creating a community of users across network devices;
defining an interaction record structure including a tagged grid;
storing an interaction record of content in the community of users based upon the interaction record structure;
creating a community index of content of the interaction record;
tagging the interaction record with a user-generated description of content;
synchronizing the community of users based upon the community index by providing an updated content component in the stored interaction record to users such that the users have the same interaction record; and
updating the community index of the interaction record.

Abstract
A system for storing, managing, and accessing information on a network by providing an interface between a social network and a content network includes an applications platform. The system provides messaging and social networking facility incorporating enhanced instant messaging, file synchronization, network presence, interactive chat capabilities, text messaging, voice and video messaging, blogging, and email. The system includes a viewer, an indexing facility, and a storage facility. The viewer enables users to traverse content and provides services based upon context of time, place, structure, node, and observed user behavior. The viewer provides a means for users to interact with information on the network and services to manipulate information and transact activities. The indexing facility manages the structure of the network and tracks attributes and controlled vocabularies. The indexing facility supports navigation across the structure and resolves the logical index to a physical storage location. The storage facility provides physical persistence for an information component.

28. A system for managing an information network by providing an interface between a social network and a content network, the system comprising:
-
a community keeper configured to maintain a community index table and coordinate operations of a created community of users across network devices; a resource grid configured to define an interaction record structure including a tagged grid; wherein the community keeper is further configured to store an interaction record of content in the community of users based upon the interaction record structure and to create a community index of content of the interaction record; wherein the resource grid is further configured to tag the interaction record with a user generated description of content; and a content synchronization module configured to synchronize the community of users based upon the community index by providing an updated content component in the stored interaction record to users such that the users have the same interaction record and wherein the content synchronization module is further configured to update the community index of the interaction record. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
