Method and apparatus for collecting and disseminating information over a computer network
DCFirst 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:
- define a first entity profile based on (1) a first entity identifier that is within a computer network, and (2) a first content that is associated with the first entity identifier;
define a second entity profile based on (1) a second entity identifier that is within the computer network, and that is different than the first entity identifier, and (2) a second content that identifies authorship by the second entity identifier and not the first entity identifier;
define a relationship identifier between the first entity profile and the second entity profile when an entity is identified as being assigned to both the first entity identifier and the second entity identifier; and
send a signal representing at least one of the first entity profile, the second entity profile or the relationship identifier such that information based on at least one of the first entity profile, the second entity profile or the relationship identifier is received by a user device.

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.

9. 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:
-
identify, at a first time, an entity having a first entity identifier within a computer network based on first content that is published by the entity and that is associated with the first entity identifier; define a first entity profile based at least in part on the first entity identifier; identify, at a second time after the first time, the entity based on (1) the first entity profile, and (2) second content that is published by the entity and that identifies authorship by a second entity identifier within the computer network, and not the first entity identifier; define a second entity profile based at least in part on the second entity identifier; and send a signal representing the second entity profile such that information based on the second entity profile is received at a user device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. 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:
-
define a first entity profile based on (1) a first entity identifier that is within a computer network, and (2) a first content that is associated with the first entity identifier; define a second entity profile based on (1) a second entity identifier that is within the computer network, that is different than the first entity identifier, and (2) a second content that identifies authorship by the second entity identifier and not the first entity identifier; link the first entity profile to the second entity profile when an entity is identified as being assigned to both the first entity identifier and the second entity identifier, to produce a link identifier; and send a signal representing at least one of the first entity profile, the second entity profile or the link identifier such that information based on at least one of the first entity profile, the second entity profile or the link identifier is received by a user device. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
