  • Publication number: 20100293105
    Abstract: A web-based update service is arranged to collect data from online social networking services (and other applications and services) to keep users informed and up to date with the activities of their social networking contacts (and up to date on data from other services) by processing the collected data into an update for display in a format that is consumable by non-interactive and low-interactive display devices that have relatively limited rendering capabilities. The data collected from the applications may be stored, parsed, and categorized so that it can be bundled into an update that is responsive to the user's input and preferences. The service transcodes the content in the update into the proper format required for display on the device. The update can be directly delivered to the display device over a network connection if the device is equipped with a network interface, or via an intermediary device like a networked personal computer.
