A facility for determining article influence and author authority based upon cites of the author's articles by other authors is described. Authors post new articles to their blog covering one or more memes, which describe the content of the article. The facility determines other web pages that share the same memes as the articles to form a context set, and then identifies those authors, called stakeholders, that commonly cite posts from web pages within the context set. Stakeholders are those with some knowledge about a particular topic that also write articles on the topic. Articles cited by stakeholders are considered more influential than those that are not cited, and a frequently cited author will have more authority for a given meme than one who is largely ignored, as indicated by receiving few article citations.

A method and system for associating search keywords with interest spaces. According to one embodiment, a method may include detecting a request to access a given online content source, where the request includes referral information specifying one or more search keywords associated with the given online content source, where the given online content source is one of a plurality of online content sources included within an interest space, and where the interest space is identified dependent upon indications of user navigation activity among the plurality of online content sources. The method may further include extracting the one or more search keywords from the request and creating an association of the one or more search keywords with the interest space.

Techniques are described for using multiple successive interactions with multiple responders in order to perform a variety of types of tasks, such as to generate solutions to abstract or conceptual problems. In some situations, at least some of the multiple responders are humans available to perform tasks and/or provide information, such as to provide responses to questions in exchange for payment. The multiple successive interactions with the responders may be used to iteratively refine the problem and its abstract intermediate solutions until the refinements are sufficiently detailed and tangible as to allow detailed final solutions to be generated. In some situations, the interactions with the responders may be performed as part of an automated service for generating solutions to a variety of types of problems, such as in exchange for payment from the users or others who specify the problems.

A method and system for displaying interest space user communities. A method may include detecting a request to access a given online content source, where the request is generated on behalf of a given user, where the given online content source is one of a number of online content sources included within an interest space, and where the interest space is identified dependent upon indications of user navigation activity among the online content sources. The method may further include displaying to the given user a representation of the interest space in response to detecting the request, where the representation includes respective indications of at least a subset of the content sources included within the interest space, and for a given content source within the subset, displaying to the given user respective indications of users on whose behalf a respective previously-generated request to access the given content source has been detected.

A system can compare a newer model of a product to an older model of a product to determine attributes or features that are new to the newer model of the product. The system can then identify other products in the same product category as the newer model of the product that includes the new attribute or product feature. The system can recommend one or more of the products with the new product feature to a potential customer. In some cases, the system may identify an average upgrade time interval for upgrading the product. Then, if the system determines that the upgrade time interval has elapsed since a user obtained the older model of the product, the system can recommend the newer model of the product and/or other products that include the new product feature to the user.

A method and system for scaling navigation path weights among online content sources. A method may include determining a first probability of users traversing a first navigation path from a first to a second online content source, dependent upon a ratio of traversals of the first navigation path and traversals of all navigation paths to the second online content source. The method may also include determining a second probability of users traversing navigation paths from the first online content source to any of the online content sources, dependent upon a ratio of the plurality of online content sources to which navigation paths from the first online content source exist and a total number of the plurality of online content sources. The method may further include generating from the probabilities a scaling factor indicative of a strength of the first navigation path relative to other navigation paths among the online content sources.

Systems and methods for displaying interest levels of online content. In one embodiment, a system may include a web browser. A badge code module may execute within an execution environment provided by the web browser and may display an indication of content interest associated with a content source, where the indication is dependent upon a time rate of change of content request traffic directed to the content source. In another embodiment, a system may include a web browser configured to generate a web browser window. A plugin module may be integrated with the web browser for execution, may generate a display interface integrated within the browser window, and may display an indication of content interest associated with a content source via the display interface, where the indication is dependent upon a time rate of change of content request traffic directed to the content source.

A system, method and computer-readable medium for client-side processing of resource identifiers. A client request for content is returned that includes information for generating a request for translation information and a number of embedded resource identifiers. Based on the information for generating a request for translation information, the client generates and obtains translation information and processes the embedded resource identifiers to obtain resources from a service provider.

A system and method for management and processing of resource requests is provided. A content delivery network service provider receives a DNS query from a client computing device. The DNS query corresponds to a requested resource from the client computing device. The content delivery network service provider associates the client computing device with a cluster of other client computing devices. Based on routing information for the cluster, the content delivery network service provider routes the DNS query. The process can further include monitoring performance data associated with the delivery of the requested resource and updating the routing information for the cluster based on the performance data for use in processing subsequent requests from client computing devices in the cluster.
