20110040787 | PRESENTING COMMENTS FROM VARIOUS SOURCES - A system may include one or more databases to store comments relating to documents, the comments originating from first and second sources, where the comments from the first source include comments received from users via commenting functionality associated with browsers installed on client devices, and the comments from the second source include comments received from users independent of the commenting functionality associated with the browsers installed on the client devices. The system may also include one or more server devices to receive a request for comments relating to a particular document, search at least one of the one or more databases to identify comments relating to the particular document, and provide the identified comments for presentation in connection with the particular document. | 02-17-2011 |
20110041075 | SEPARATING REPUTATION OF USERS IN DIFFERENT ROLES - One or more server devices may determine a first reputation for a user acting in a first role and determine a second reputation for the user acting in a second role. The second role is different than the first role. The one or more server devices may further associate, in a memory associated with the one or more server devices, an identifier of the user with a first value representing the first reputation and a second value representing the second reputation. The one or more server devices may also provide a ranked list of users, the user being placed in the ranked list at a location based on the first reputation or the second reputation. | 02-17-2011 |
20110145219 | OBJECTIVE AND SUBJECTIVE RANKING OF COMMENTS - A system may receive a request for comments associated with a particular document, identify a comment associated with the particular document, generate an objective score for the comment that is independent of a user associated with the request, identify the user associated with the request, generate a subjective score for the comment based on parameters associated with the identified user, generate a combined score for the comment by combining the objective score and the subjective score, and provide the comment, ranked based on the combined score, to the user for presentation with the particular document. | 06-16-2011 |
20110264653 | SPREADING COMMENTS TO OTHER DOCUMENTS - A server device is configured to receive a comment associated with a first document, the comment corresponding to a first portion of the first document; identify a second document that includes a second portion that matches the first portion of the first document; and store the comment in association with the first document and the second document. The server device is further configured to receive, from a client device, information that the client device is accessing the second document, and transmit the comment for presentation in connection with the second document on a display associated with the client device. | 10-27-2011 |
20130006978 | OBJECTIVE AND SUBJECTIVE RANKING OF COMMENTS - A system may receive a request for comments associated with a particular document, identify a comment associated with the particular document, generate an objective score for the comment that is independent of a user associated with the request, identify the user associated with the request, generate a subjective score for the comment based on parameters associated with the identified user, generate a combined score for the comment by combining the objective score and the subjective score, and provide the comment, ranked based on the combined score, to the user for presentation with the particular document. | 01-03-2013 |
20140114967 | SPREADING COMMENTS TO OTHER DOCUMENTS - A server device is configured to receive a comment associated with a first document, the comment corresponding to a first portion of the first document; identify a second document that includes a second portion that matches the first portion of the first document; and store the comment in association with the first document and the second document. The server device is further configured to receive, from a client device, information that the client device is accessing the second document, and transmit the comment for presentation in connection with the second document on a display associated with the client device. | 04-24-2014 |
20140129549 | Attribute-Based Rating of Authors and Content - System, methods, and apparatus for attribute-based rating of authors and content. In some methods, first content authored by a first author having an attribute that is common to other authors is received. A second author having the attribute is identified as well as content authored by the second author. A user feedback base rating that is assigned to the second author is identified. An initial rating for the first content is generated based on the user feedback based rating that is assigned to the second author, and the initial rating is assigned to the first content. | 05-08-2014 |
