Embodiments include establishing a user account for the user; retrieving content of disparate data types from identified disparate data sources associated with the user account; storing the retrieved content; and associating the stored content with the user account.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for publishing content. Embodiments include aggregating, for a user, content of disparate data types from disparate data sources; synthesizing the aggregated content of disparate data types into synthesized content including data of a data type for delivery to a particular RSS rendering device; and publishing the synthesized content through an RSS feed.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for invoking an audio hyperlink. Embodiments include identifying a predetermined playback time in an audio file pre-designated as having an associated audio hyperlink; playing an audio indication of the audio hyperlink at the predetermined playback time; receiving from a user an instruction to invoke the audio hyperlink; identifying a URI associated with the audio hyperlink; and invoking the URI. The audio file may include an audio subcomponent of a file also including video.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for consolidated content management for delivery to a rendering device. Embodiments include aggregating, for a user, content of disparate data types from disparate data sources; synthesizing the aggregated content of disparate data types into synthesized content of a data type for delivery to a particular rendering device; receiving from the rendering device a request for the synthesized content; and transmitting, in a response to the request, the requested synthesized content to the rendering device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for synthesizing the content of disparate data types into synthesized content including data of a particular data type for single point access by a user. Embodiments include identifying aggregated content of disparate data types; and translating the aggregated content into text content in accordance with device profiles for an identified rendering device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for synthesizing aggregated data of disparate data types into data of a uniform data type. Embodiments include receiving aggregated data of disparate data types; translating the aggregated data of disparate data types into translated content comprising text content and markup associated with the text content; and embedding at least one audio hyperlink within the translated content. Embedding at least one audio hyperlink within the translated content may be carried out by identifying a portion of the translated content to associate with an audio hyperlink; identifying a Uniform Resource Identifier (‘URI’) identifying a resource to be accessed by invoking the audio hyperlink; determining one or more keywords for invoking the audio hyperlink; and associating with the portion of the translated content the URL and the one or more keywords.

Abstract: Methods systems and products are provided for invoking an audio hyperlink embedded in a markup document. Embodiments include identifying an audio hyperlink embedded within the markup document; playing an audio indication of the audio hyperlink; receiving from a user an instruction to invoke the audio hyperlink; identifying a Uniform Resource Identifier (‘URI’) associated with the audio hyperlink; and invoking the URI. The audio indication of the audio hyperlink may be implemented as audio indication designed to inform a user of the type of content available through invoking the URI. The audio indication of the audio hyperlink may also be implemented as earcon.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for annotating an audio file with an audio hyperlink. Embodiments include receiving an identification of a playback time in an audio file to associate with an audio hyperlink; receiving a selection of a Uniform Resource Identifier (‘URI’) identifying a resource to be accessed upon the invocation of the audio hyperlink; receiving a selection of one or more keywords for invoking the audio hyperlink; and associating with the playback time in the audio file the URI, and the one or more keywords. Typical embodiments also include receiving a selection of an audio indication type for identifying of the existence of the audio hyperlink during playback of the audio file and associating with the playback time in the audio file the URI, and the one or more keywords further comprises associating with the playback time the audio indication.
