Abstract: A system and method are provided for assessing user engagement with content viewed on a display of a computing device. The system analyzes user interactions with content, where the user can annotate the content with predetermined sentiments associated with the content being viewed. The annotations are responses, each of which may be associated with a particular type of predefined metadata. The system may then aggregate the annotations for each selection of content and render those annotations on the display within the content. Any user viewing the content can then view the annotations in order to stimulate further interaction with the system, e.g., via additional responses to the annotations.

Abstract: A suggested communication from a plurality of available communications for the user may be determined. The suggested communication may be created specifically for a user or for users in one or more categories. If the suggested communication is determined to be sufficiently similar to the profile of the user, the suggested communication may be provided to the user and the suggested communication may be removed from the available communications for the user for a period of time. A computer usage message may be received indicating whether the suggestion communication was acted upon or not acted upon. If the user responded in a desired way, a benefit may be provided to the user and an additional analysis of the response computer usage message communicated from the user may be performed.

Abstract: A networked computing system for reporting software events occurring on a client computer to a collection service is presented. The networked computing system comprises a collection service, communicatively coupled to a communications network, and a plurality of client computers. The collection service is configured to receive software events from a client computer over the communications network. Each client computer is also communicatively coupled to the communications network. Each client computer is further configured to generate a sampling value on the client computer for a corresponding software module, and detect the occurrence of a software event corresponding to the software module. Upon detecting the occurrence of a software event corresponding to the software module, each client computer determines whether a sampling value falls within a predetermined sampling range, and if so, reports the software event to the collection service over the communications network.
