Abstract: A method, a system and a computer program product for influencing ranking of URLs in a search engine. In an example embodiment, a computer determines that a posting of a URL has occurred in a social networking environment, the computer tracks accesses of the URL subsequent to the posting of the URL. The computer further determines whether a number of accesses of the URL has increased subsequent to the posting of the URL and, responsive to determining that the number of accesses of the URL has increased subsequent to the posting of the URL, the computer determines whether the number of accesses of the URL has increased by at least a predefined threshold. Further, responsive to determining that the number of accesses of the URL has increased by at least the predefined threshold, the computer increases the ranking of the URL in a search engine.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for dynamically generating a task-based filter rule for filtering electronic communications. Characteristic data for at least one of electronic communications exchanged by, or user interactions performed via, a data processing system are collected. The characteristic data is automatically analyzed to determine if a task-based filter rule is to be generated. The task-based filter rule is automatically generated in response to determining that the characteristic data satisfies the dynamic task-based filter rule creation condition. Future electronic communications are automatically filtered by applying the task-based filter rule to the future electronic communications such that electronic communications satisfying a condition of the task-based filter rule are not filtered out.
