  • Publication number: 20160026651
    Abstract: A method executes at a computing device having one or more processors and memory. The memory stores one or more programs configured for execution by the one or more processors. The process analyzes content of a first content item provided by a first content feed against a first set of content-based labeling rules. The first content item is selected from among a set of unread content items of the first content feed to which a user of the computing device has subscribed. When it is determined that the first content item satisfies the first set of content-based labeling rules, the process automatically (without human intervention) assigns the first content label to the first content item and causes the first content label to be displayed concurrently with information identifying the first content item.
