Patent number: 7412534Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for centrally managing subscriptions to feeds accessible at different locations on a network. A subscription server is provided that a user can log in to from any of the user's rendering devices and use to manage subscriptions to feeds, including subscribing to feeds, listening to episodes of feeds, downloading episodes to a rendering device, and rating and reviewing episodes. The user's history of actions with respect to feeds is tracked and stored on the subscription server. The user can then access this history via user interfaces generated by the subscription server to determine what actions the user has performed in the past.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2006Date of Patent: August 12, 2008Assignee: Yahoo! Inc.Inventors: Audrey Y. Tsang, Matt Fukuda, Dan J. Wascovich, Edward Stanley Ott, IV, Nathanael Joe Hayashi

Publication number: 20070078883Abstract: A system and method are provided for identifying discrete locations and/or sections within a pre-existing media file without modifying the media file. The discrete locations and/or sections can be associated with one or more user-selected descriptors. The system and method allows for the identifying information to be communicated to consumers of the media file and the media file to be selectively rendered by the consumer using the identifying information, thus allowing a consumer to render only the portion of the media file identified or render from a given discrete location in the media file. In an embodiment, the system and method can be performed without modifying the media file itself and thus no derivative work is created.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2006Publication date: April 5, 2007Applicant: Yahoo! Inc.Inventors: Nathanael Hayashi, Matt Fukuda

Publication number: 20070078832Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for recommending tags and/or content items in response to requests received from remote computing devices. In one aspect, a content item recommendation system comprises a database configured to store an identifier of a first content item, a first tag and information from which a tag density associated with the first tag and with the first content item may be derived. The tag density may be a measure of times a tag has been associated with a content item by any user of a plurality of users who are members of a community. The system also comprises a recommendation engine configured to receive search results containing the first tag from a search engine and to correlate the first tag with information stored in the database. The recommendation engine may be further configured to determine a recommended tag, based on a recommendation threshold and a tag density, the tag density associated with both the recommended tag and the first content item.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2006Publication date: April 5, 2007Applicant: Yahoo!
