CREATING AND PROPAGATING ANNOTATED INFORMATION
First Claim
1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media that store executable instructions to communicate information, wherein the executable instructions, when executed by a device, cause the device to perform acts comprising:
- receiving a document on said device;
sending, to a service that is remote from said device, first information that comprises said document;
receiving, from said service, one or more annotations to said document;
combining a first one of said annotations with said document to create an annotated document;
associating said document and said first one of said annotations with a user of said device; and
saving said document with said first one of said annotations.

Abstract
Content may be collected, annotated, and propagated in a unified process. In one example, a mobile device such as a smart phone is used to collect information. The information may be text, video, audio, etc. The information may be sent to a reaction service, which may return an annotation of the information. The annotation may be attached to the information to create an annotated document. The annotated document may be communicated to other users. Additionally, the annotated document may be stored in a way that associated the annotated document with the user who created or captured the information. The ability to capture information, obtain annotations to the information, and propagate the annotated information may facilitate the creation of social media, such as social network postings or online photo albums.

8. A method of facilitating communication of information, the method comprising:
using a processor to perform acts comprising; receiving first information through an input mechanism of a device; sending, to a service that is remote from said device, second information that comprises said first information; receiving, from said service, one or more items of third information, wherein said service creates said items of third information in reaction to said second information; creating an annotated document based on said first information and said items of third information; and propagating, to one or more people, fourth information that is based on said annotated document and on an identity of a user of said device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A device for collecting and propagating information, wherein the device comprises:
-
a content input mechanism through which said device receives content; a memory; a processor; and a client application that is stored in said memory and that executes on said processor, wherein said client application, upon instruction from a first user of the device, sends, to a service that is located remotely from said device and with which the device communicates through a network, content received through said content input mechanism, and wherein said client application receives from the service one or more annotations of said content, combines said content and a first one of said one or more annotations to create an annotated document, creates information based on said annotated document, and propagates said information to one or more second users. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
