  • Patent number: 10127325
    Abstract: A method, an apparatus and/or a system of amplification of a social object through automatic republishing of the social object on curated content pages based on relevancy is disclosed. A curated content system involves associating a social media account of a user of a third-party service to the curated content system based on an authentication of the social media account through the curated content system. The curated content system may also involve determining that a social object placed in the third-party service is associated with a page in the curated content system based on a relevancy match between an identification data associated with the social object with at least a portion of a content of the page. Further, the curated content system involves automatically republishing the social object adjacent to at least the portion of the content of the page using a processor to amplify an influence of the social object.

  • Patent number: 8843543
    Abstract: A source attribution system includes a tracking module to generate an identification meta-data to be associated with an original content of a first publisher that originates in a third party source server of a public wide area network such that the original content is attributable to the first publisher through the identification meta-data associated thereto with the original content when the original content having the associated identification meta-data is republished. The system further includes a processor, and memory which is configured to determine that a subsequent publishing of the original content is an embedded portion of another work of authorship when a communication of the identification meta-data is extracted from a server in which the subsequent publishing is manifested and transmitted from the server to the processor. The system also includes a notification module that notifies the first publisher upon subsequent publication of the original content by a subsequent publisher.

  • Publication number: 20130024519
    Abstract: A method, an apparatus and/or a system of source attribution of embedded content is disclosed. A sharable scrapbook page system includes a tracking module configured to generate an identification meta-data to be associated with an original content of a first publisher that originates in a third-party source server of a public wide area network such that the original content is attributable to the first publisher through the identification meta-data associated thereto with the original content when the original content having the associated identification meta-data is republished on a scrapbook page along with other republished data assets in a curated form on the scrapbook page by a subsequent publisher. The system further includes a processor including a memory which is configured to determine that a subsequent publishing of the original content is an embedded portion of another work of authorship.
