Abstract: A method and system for generating recommendations across multiple product or service domains are disclosed. The system includes a plurality of domain servers for handling user events and for interfacing with users via the Internet, a database for storing the user events, and a recommendation engine. The recommendation engine further includes one or more computer programs containing instructions for collecting the user events across a plurality of product or service domains in the database, receiving a triggering event for recommendations, analyzing the user events to formulate correlations between the user events in the database, and generating recommendations in response to the triggering event in accordance with the correlations between the user events in the database. The disclosure uses user input data from different domains for producing recommendations in any of those domains. The disclosure allows for access to a greater amount of user input data which in turn improves the quality of recommendations.

Abstract: Personal portal pages for individual users are integrated with web content syndication. For example, when a search query is received from the user, a list of hits is generated. For each hit, it is determined whether there is an associated syndication feed, such as an RSS feed. The list of hits is displayed for the user, and a syndication option is included for each hit that has an associated syndication feed. The user can select the syndication option and thereby subscribe their personal portal page to that syndication feed. In some embodiments, the user may also be able to select syndication feeds for subscription via an alternative interface.

Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus and methods for facilitating music collaboration between remote musicians (or the like) are provided. In general, mechanisms for facilitating live music collaborations or “jam sessions” over a computer network. These mechanisms allow musicians to perform from remote locations via one or more computer networks. Each musician is able to receive live video feeds from each of the other musicians during such jam session. Other computer users may form members of an audience who also receive such live video feeds from the musicians participating in the live jam session. The audience members may also receive a mixed audio feed of the audio streams from all of the participating musicians. Various features for enhancing such live jam session are described further herein.

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a schedule of videos is received from a curator, wherein the curator is involved in displaying videos on a web page and the schedule is a list of videos to be displayed on the web page. One or more advertisements are matched to the schedule of videos, wherein the matching is based at least partially upon the content of videos within the schedule of videos or information about the schedule of videos. Then a video stream containing videos from the schedule of videos is integrated into the web page, along with the one or more advertisements.

Abstract: A mobile device, system, and method are directed towards identifying and employing social agents within a social network for distribution of multimedia content virally over mobile devices. The social agent may identify one or more multimedia content items for distribution. The social agent may also identify recipients of the viral distributions, or the recipients may be automatically identified based on the social network. The recipients may receive a message that enables them to access a playlist of the social agent's multimedia content. The playlist may be associated with a card display that displays information about the social agent on one side. The recipient may then ‘flip’ the card to display the playlist. Playing of a selection in the playlist may then enable the social agent to receive a reward. The recipient may also distribute the social agent's playlist to another recipient, thus virally distributing multimedia content within the social network.
