Additional media files are pulled from other sources, such as social media feeds and the public domain, to create a customized distribution and a comprehensive user experience centered on a user's media files based on specified user preferences. The customized distribution also includes modifying story streams based on learning of additional user preferences from continued user interaction and continuously grouping inference associations from one or more of activities, people, objects, times, dates, and locations.

  • Publication number: 20130346230
    Abstract: An on-line market-place includes an auction wherein one or more predefined terms, qualities, incentives, or other such indicia (generally, “Program Terms”) are associated with the particular product and/or service which is the subject of the auction. Customers rank or otherwise designate their preference for these Program Terms (e.g., by selecting a “Preferred Program Term”), and the system then partitions the customers into “pools” in accordance with the selected Program Terms. Merchants then compete to obtain that pool of customers by bidding on the Preferred Program Term. Customers may be pooled according to demographic or other customer characteristics (“Characteristic Pooling”), or according to level of commitment to purchase (“Commitment Pooling”).
