- receiving, by one or more processors, a plurality of items for a content feed to be provided to a user device, a first item including first content from a first content provider and a second item including second content from a second content provider;
creating a first augmented item that includes the first content and third party content;
creating a second augmented item that includes the second content and different third party content;
providing, by one or more processors and to a user device, an augmented content feed that includes the first augmented item and the second augmented item;
determining, after providing the augmented content feed, that one of the first augmented item or the second augmented item has changed;
providing, in response to determining that the first augmented item or the second augmented item has changed, an alert to a user associated with the augmented content feed, the alert including information about the change to the first augmented item or the second augmented item;
in response to a first request for the augmented content feed, providing an advertisement in the augmented content feed; and

Abstract
Disclosed is a method for processing content published on-line so as to identify each item in a unique manner. In some implementations, an RSS feed is received from a publisher and a unique identifier is identified for each item in the feed. Each item then has third party content or advertisements associated with the item based on the unique identifier. The feed is then stored and, when appropriate, updated. The augmented feed, which contains the third party content and the items in the feed, is provided to user devices.
