  • Patent number: 10628430
    Abstract: Arrangements relate to the management of data items representing intended future conversations. A plurality of first inputs related to a respective intended future conversation can be received. At least one data item representing the respective intended future conversation can be created for each first input. At least one attribute can be received for each of the plurality of intended future conversations associated with-each first input. In response to receiving at least one attribute for each of the plurality of the intended future conversations associated with each first input, the plurality of intended future conversations associated with each first input can be ranked in a particular order based on at least one of the received attributes. A listing of the intended future conversations that is based on the ranking can be generated.

  • Patent number: 10375180
    Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product enables a user to selectively follow content postings from a content posting entity. A set of desired content posting entity traits describes traits of an ideal content posting entity that the content follower desires to follow. The set of desired content posting entity traits is compared to traits of a first candidate content posting entity. In response to the traits of the first candidate content posting entity matching the desired content posting entity traits, and in response to the first candidate content posting entity posting from a preselected location, the first candidate content posting entity is selected for future content postings to be sent to the content follower.
