Abstract: Information is aggregated and made available to users. A system monitors over the internet a first set of external information sources for a first user based on instructions from a first user profile that specifies information to aggregate for the first user. The system detects, based on the monitoring, new data at one of the first set of information sources. The system obtains the new data at the one of the first set of information sources, independent of preferences of the one of the first set of information sources. The system updates aggregated information for the first user with the new data from the one of the first set of information sources. The updated aggregated information for the first user is made available to the first user.

Abstract: Delivering targeted content includes collecting, via at least one tangible processor, user activity data for users during a specified time period. questions asked by the users during the specified time period are extracted from the user activity data, via the at least one tangible processor, and stored in user profiles for the users. The user profiles are clustered, via the at least one tangible processor, based on the questions asked. Targeted content is delivered, via the at least one tangible processor, to a subset of the users based on the clustering.

Abstract: Aggregating information includes configuring, by at least one processor, a user profile that indicates user preferences for aggregated information. The at least one processor monitors information sources including the World Wide Web, business websites of interest, and online social media, based on the user preferences. Data obtained from the information sources is presented, based on the monitoring, by the at least one processor, in accordance with a presentation format, as the aggregated information, based on the user preferences. The at least one processor triggers updating of the presented aggregated information based on a change to the data at least one of the information sources and a change to the user profile.
