Abstract: User polling associated with an interactive broadcasting platform includes maintaining a list of one or more existing request posts associated with content. The existing request posts are posted by one or more users associated with an interactive broadcast platform. A new request post is received from another user associated with the interactive broadcasting platform with the new request post being associated with the interactive broadcasting platform. Votes are received from a group of users. The group of users include any of the one or more users, the another user, and other non-posting users associated with the online broadcasting platform. The votes are associated with at least one of the one or more existing request posts and the new request post. A score is determined for the existing request posts and for the new request post according to a function that includes the votes received from the group of users.

Abstract: A computer security monitoring method and system includes receiving input data, wherein the input data includes user account data associated with a user's security-related interaction with a particular network, security-related local network data associated with the particular network, and security-related external network data regarding security threats at one or more independent, external networks. The input data is analyzed to generate at least one composite security status score, wherein the analyzing includes an analysis of the user account data based on previously stored data associated with the user account, and an analysis of the security-related local and external network data to adjust the composite security status score when the analysis of the security-related local and external network data indicates an increased security threat. The method and system may produce human-readable output including an alert associated with the at least one composite security status score.
