1. A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising:
- a. capturing social networking information, including the social networking information of a user, from a social networking system;
b. analyzing the social networking information of the user, including;
i. determining interests of the user; and
ii. storing the interests of the user in a data structure;
c. processing the social networking information, including parsing the social networking information into parsed information;
d. fact checking, with the device, the social networking information by comparing the parsed information with source information to generate fact checking results, including indicating when the parsed information is factually accurate and indicating when the parsed information is factually inaccurate;
e. summarizing the social networking information to generate a summary of the social networking information, including determining total strengths of sentences within the social networking information,wherein a total strength of a sentence is based on a strength of a lexical chain, the interests of the user, and factual accuracy of the sentence based on the fact checking results generated by fact checking the social networking information,wherein summarizing the social networking information utilizes the interests of the user stored in the data structure by increasing the strength of the lexical chain when a word in the lexical chain matches at least one of the interests in the data structure,wherein lexical chaining includes selecting a set of candidate words or phrases, finding an appropriate chain using relatedness criteria among members of chains for each candidate word, and inserting a word in the lexical chain when the word is found,wherein the total strength of the sentence is increased when the sentence is factually accurate,wherein the summary of the social networking information includes the fact checking results; and
f. providing the summary of the social networking information in real-time.

Abstract
An optimized fact checking system analyzes and determines the factual accuracy of information and/or characterizes the information by comparing the information with source information. The optimized fact checking system automatically monitors information, processes the information, fact checks the information in an optimized manner and/or provides a status of the information. In some embodiments, the optimized fact checking system generates, aggregates, and/or summarizes content.

20. A device comprising:
-
a. a non-transitory memory for storing an application for automatically performing the following steps; i. capturing a first set of social networking information from a social networking system; ii. capturing a second set of social networking information, including the social networking information of a user, from the social networking system; iii. analyzing the second set of social networking information, including; (1) determining interests of the user based on most frequently used words in the second set of social networking information; and (2) storing the interests of the user in a data structure; iv. processing the first set of social networking information, including parsing the first set of social networking information into parsed information; v. fact checking, with the device, the first set of social networking information by comparing the parsed information with source information to generate fact checking results, including indicating when the parsed information is factually accurate and indicating when the parsed information is factually inaccurate; vi. summarizing the first set of social networking information to generate a summary of the first set of social networking information, including determining total strengths of sentences within the first set of social networking information, wherein a total strength of a sentence is based on a strength of a lexical chain, the interests of the user, and factual accuracy of the sentence based on the fact checking results generated by fact checking the first set of social networking information, wherein summarizing the first set of social networking information includes utilizing the interests of the user stored in the data structure by increasing the strength of the lexical chain when a word in the lexical chain matches at least one of the interests in the data structure, and increasing the total strength of the sentence when the sentence is factually accurate, and decreasing the total strength of the sentence when the sentence is factually inaccurate, wherein lexical chaining includes selecting a set of candidate words or phrases, finding an appropriate chain using relatedness criteria among members of chains for each candidate word, and inserting a word in the lexical chain when the word is found, wherein the summary of the first set of social networking information includes the fact checking results; and vii. providing the summary of the first set of social networking information in real-time; and b. a processor for processing the application.
