Google™ news feed is a personalized stream of articles, videos, and other content. The feed will appear in its app for Android and iOS, simply called Google. The feed, which includes items drawn from user's search history and topics user choose to follow, is designed to turn Google's app into a destination for browsing as well as search. But Google™ does not enable advertiser to send post or one or more types of contents to advertiser selected or entered keyword(s) and similar keywords associated past or current searching users, who searched contents in search engine based on said selected or entered keyword(s) and similar keywords and further filter based on target criteria provided by advertiser.

Currently RSS feeds enables user to follow one or more sources or websites or webpages of contents or updated contents, so user can receive each posted contents from said followed sources. At present Twitter™ and Facebook™ Like and Follow enables users to follow one or more users of network and receive each posted contents from said followed users. At present Twitter™ and Facebook™ enables advertiser to post advertisement(s) so users of network can follow said advertiser or web page or page or profile of said advertiser including brand, company, product, service, enterprise and entity. User can search and tap on search result item(s) associated like or follow or subscribe button and follow source or user or advertiser or user can follow advertisers or brands from categories lists or user can directly visit webpage or profile page of said advertiser and can tap on like or follow or subscribe button and follow source or user or advertiser to receive each posted content item from said followed source(s) or advertiser(s). Advertisers can pay per follower to accumulate contextual followers.

All prior arts teaches about follow source including user or advertiser or brand or event or hashtag or category or keyword or one or more types of entities from search results or categories lists or web sites or web pages or profile pages by tapping on like or follow or subscribe button to receive each posted content items from followed sources.

At present Facebook™ enables users of network to “Like” post(s) or page(s) or profile page(s), when user “Likes” post(s) or page(s) or profile page(s) by tapping on “Like” button, user is automatically follow or subscribe said post associated user or source or provider of one or more types of content(s) or advertisers or brands. So it will exponentially increases user engagements thus increasing advertisement insertions and advertisement revenues by charging pay per followers, pay per post views. Practically, user can more times taps or clicks on “Like” button” than taps or clicks on “follow” button. So automatically make user, follower of liked post associated source, increases number of followers of said liked post associated source and when said post associated source or advertiser when posts one or more types of content item(s) inkling photo, video, text, link, user actions then post liked users or followers of said source or advertisers receives each post of said advertisers or source. Due to more “Likes” happens and thus more automatically following of sources, user receives more posts from liked post associated sources which makes user feed crowded. Sometimes user forget to unfollow automatically followed sources which leads to increasing of followed sources and thus receiving unnecessary posts from automatically followed sources based on likes of posts.

Facebook™ enables advertisers to boost posts and promoted pages by deliver ads to people based on demographics, interests, and behaviors and custom audiences. Facebook™ enables advertisers to draft and post one or more types of contents or content items including photo, video, text, link, actions including like button, follow button, book, buy, and any combination thereof and post or send or present to all followers of advertisers, wherein advertisers including brand, company, product, service or one or more types of entities, or webpage or profile page of advertisers including brand, company, product, service or one or more types of entities.

Present invention enables users of network to follow or subscribe contents of one or more other users of network by searching users based on user profile and follow search result item associated source(s) or user(s), searching public contents of user and follow search result item(s) associated source(s) or user(s), search, match or select from one or more categories or list of users or sources, visiting profile page or web site or web page of user and tap on follow or subscribe or like button for receiving posted contents from followed source(s). Present invention enables users of network or advertisers to post contents to all or default set or selected or categories or criteria specific or defined followers, wherein defined followers or criteria specific followers including search query specific followers by using wizard or executing structured query language (SQL) or natural query or one or more types of search or matchmaking algorithm, provided criteria specific followers including name, one or more types of identity(ies), age, gender, education, qualification, skill(s), income range(s), interest type(s), language(s), activity type(s), particular or selected or related school(s), college(s) or one or more types of entities, inputted or selected or location(s), place(s), defined or drawn or selected geo-boundaries specific, geo-fence specific, one or more types of attributes or user profile data or filed associated value specific followers. So users or advertisers are enabled to post or send contents to selected or defined followers instead of all followers by default. So users of network or advertisers accumulate followers from network and posting user advertisement posting user is enabling to post contents to targeted or defined criteria specific followers. So followers not get all posts from followed sources instead receive contextual posts from followed users or sources or posting users. Advertiser can determine each message or post specific target criteria for presenting each message or post to contextual followers.

At present when user posts contents then each followers of user receives each post in follower and following features and when user follow other users of network then user receives each post from each followed source, which sometimes creates spam like follow. Now due to various ways to follow, user follows large number of sources of contents which are not contextual for user which creates problem for user to read contextual contents. Present invention enables posting user to post one or more types of contents only to target criteria specific users and/or based on preferences of user, so following user receives contextual contents and does not receive each post from followed source. For example when user follows Amazon™, but user preferences is men's cloth then user will not receive woman's cloth related posts from followed source “Amazon™”. In another example big brand followers are very huge e.g. “Samsung™” releases mobile phone for India then only India region followers will get posts related to said post. In another embodiment present invention enables user to provide preferences and receive preference specific matched messages from followed sources, wherein server matches received messages with preferences of followers of posting user to identify followers as recipient of message and then send said messages to said matched followers instead of sending messages to each followers of posting user which makes contextual feeds for viewing user.

At present Twitter™ and Facebook™ provides feeds wherein user is presented with messages or posts from followers in chronological orders or based on applied one or more algorithms. User can view only latest message or post from followed sources since recent posts presents first in order. So user does not able to view past messages or posts from particular source. In another embodiment present invention enables user to search, match and select sources and add to user timeline or feed or list or search publicly posted contents and add search result item associated source to user timeline or feed or list or visit web page or profile page of brands or products or services or companies or users and add to user timeline or feed or list by tapping on “Add to my timeline or feed” or “Like” or “Add” or “Add me” or “View my updates” or “View my feeds” button or one or more types of controls. After adding source(s) to user's timeline or feed or list of preferred or liked sources, system adds links or tabs of said added or liked sources associated web page in user timeline or feed page or profile page or web page in horizontal or in vertical order, so user can tap on particular tab or link and can view all posts of said link or tab associated source in chronological order. Parent web page of user feed configured to present multiple web pages of followed sources in horizontal or in vertical or any other manner inside said parent webpage of user's feed or timeline, so user can view all posts or messages in chronological order or as per sort order provided by user by tapping on tab and viewing in vertical order or view in horizontal order of messages or posts. Horizontal feeds enables user to view each source associate message in chronological order and user can swipe or scroll left to right or right to left to view messages in chronological order as per sorted order including date& time wise, keyword or hashtag or category wise. Horizontal feeds enables user to tap on tab to view all messages or posts, in chronological order or any other sorted order, of tab associated followed source or added source. User is present with tabs in horizontal or vertical order. In the event of new message posted by followed sources, tabs associated with said newly posted message or post associated sources presented to user in first order, so user can view immediately without need to scrolling tabs.

In another embodiment when user tap on like in presented or searched post or tap on like by visiting or searching pages of users then system creates list of liked posts or pages including web pages or profile pages of each user of network and automatically make follower of said liked posts or pages or sources or users. In an embodiment after creating list of likes of posts or pages and automatically add user to follower of said liked posts or pages associated sources, server receives, from posting user, message or post or one or more types of content item(s) and associated targeting criteria for identifying or selecting or searching or matching followers of posting user; based on said targeting criteria identify, by a computer processor, the followers of the posting user as recipients of the message; and send the message to the targeted followers of the first user. In an embodiment after creating list of likes of posts or pages and automatically add user to follower of said liked posts or pages associated sources, server receives, from user, targeting criteria; storing, by the processor, targeting criteria for identifying or selecting or searching or matching followers of posting user; receive, from posting user, message or post or one or more types of content item(s); based on said targeting criteria identify, by a computer processor, the followers of the posting user as recipients of the message; and send the message to the targeted followers of the first user.

Server 110 receives request to search based on provided search query 710 and retrieves and processes search query specific data or contents or search for information on the World Wide Web. Based on said retrieved data or contents or information, server 110 generates and presents the search results 725, wherein search results are generally presented in a line of results 725 (730/735/740) often referred to as search engine results pages (SERPs) 750. The information may be a mix of web pages, images, and other types of files. A search engine results page (SERP) 725 is the page displayed by a web search engine 110 in response to a query 710 by a searcher. The main component of the SERP is the listing of results 725 (730/735/740) that are returned by the search engine 110 in response to a keyword query 710, although the page may also contain other results such as advertisements 730 and 735. The results are of two general types, organic (i.e., retrieved by the search engine's algorithm) and sponsored (i.e., advertisements). The results are normally ranked by relevance to the query. Each result displayed on the SERP normally includes a title, a link that points to the actual page on the Web and a short description showing where the keywords have matched content within the page for organic results. For sponsored results 730/735, the advertiser chooses what to display based on advertisement comping, advertisement groups and advertisements (discussed in detail in FIGS. 3 and 6). Due to the huge number of items 750 that are available or related to the query 710 there usually are several SERPs 750 in response to a single search query 710 as the search engine 110 or the user's preferences restrict viewing to a subset of results per page 701.

Accordingly, the present invention may be practiced with other computer system configurations.

Various embodiments may further include receiving, sending or storing instructions and/or data implemented in accordance with the foregoing description upon a computer-accessible medium. Generally speaking, a computer-accessible medium may include storage media or memory media such as magnetic or optical media, e.g., disk or DVD/CD-ROM, volatile or non-volatile media such as RAM (e.g. SDRAM, DDR, RDRAM, SRAM, etc.), ROM, etc., as well as transmission media or signals such as electrical, electromagnetic, or digital signals, conveyed via a communication medium such as network and/or a wireless link.

The various methods as illustrated in the Figures and described herein represent examples of embodiments of methods. The methods may be implemented in software, hardware, or a combination thereof. The order of method may be changed, and various elements may be added, reordered, combined, omitted, modified, etc. Various modifications and changes may be made as would be obvious to a person skilled in the art having the benefit of this disclosure. It is intended that the invention embrace all such modifications and changes and, accordingly, the above description to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense.

In an embodiment a program is written as a series of human understandable computer instructions that can be read by a compiler and linker, and translated into machine code so that a computer can understand and run it. A program is a list of instructions written in a programming language that is used to control the behavior of a machine, often a computer (in this case it is known as a computer program).A programming language's surface form is known as its syntax. Most programming languages are purely textual; they use sequences of text including words, numbers, and punctuation, much like written natural languages. On the other hand, there are some programming languages which are more graphical in nature, using visual relationships between symbols to specify a program. In computer science, the syntax of a computer language is the set of rules that defines the combinations of symbols that are considered to be a correctly structured document or fragment in that language. This applies both to programming languages, where the document represents source code, and markup languages, where the document represents data. The syntax of a language defines its surface form. Text-based computer languages are based on sequences of characters, while visual programming languages are based on the spatial layout and connections between symbols (which may be textual or graphical or flowchart(s)). Documents that are syntactically invalid are said to have a syntax error. Syntax—the form—is contrasted with semantics—the meaning. In processing computer languages, semantic processing generally comes after syntactic processing, but in some cases semantic processing is necessary for complete syntactic analysis, and these are done together or concurrently. In a compiler, the syntactic analysis comprises the frontend, while semantic analysis comprises the backend (and middle end, if this phase is distinguished). There are millions of possible combinations, sequences, ordering, permutations & formations of inputs, interpretations, and outputs or outcomes of set of instructions of standardized or specialized or generalized or structured or functional or object oriented programming language(s).

The present invention has been described in particular detail with respect to a limited number of embodiments. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that the invention may additionally be practiced in other embodiments. First, the particular naming of the components, capitalization of terms, the attributes, data structures, or any other programming or structural aspect is not mandatory or significant, and the mechanisms that implement the invention or its features may have different names, formats, or protocols. Furthermore, the system may be implemented via a combination of hardware and software, as described, or entirely in hardware elements. Also, the particular division of functionality between the various system components described herein is merely exemplary, and not mandatory; functions performed by a single system component may instead be performed by multiple components, and functions performed by multiple components may instead performed by a single component. Additionally, although the foregoing embodiments have been described in the context of a social network website, it will apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that the invention may be used with any social network service, even if it is not provided through a website. Any system that provides social networking functionality can be used in accordance with the present invention even if it relies, for example, on e-mail, instant messaging or any other form of peer-to-peer communications, or any other technique for communicating between users. Systems used to provide social networking functionality include a distributed computing system, client-side code modules or plug-ins, client-server architecture, a peer-to peer communication system or other systems. The invention is thus not limited to any particular type of communication system, network, protocol, format or application.

The foregoing description of the embodiments of the invention has been presented for the purpose of illustration; it is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed. Persons skilled in the relevant art can appreciate that many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above disclosure.

Some portions of this description describe the embodiments of the invention in terms of algorithms and symbolic representations of operations on information. These algorithmic descriptions and representations are commonly used by those skilled in the data processing arts to convey the substance of their work effectively to others skilled in the art. These operations, while described functionally, computationally, or logically, are understood to be implemented by computer programs or equivalent electrical circuits, microcode, or the like. Furthermore, it has also proven convenient at times, to refer to these arrangements of operations as modules, without loss of generality. The described operations and their associated modules may be embodied in software, firmware, hardware, or any combinations thereof

Any of the steps, operations, or processes described herein may be performed or implemented with one or more hardware or software modules, alone or in combination with other devices. In one embodiment, a software module is implemented with a computer program product comprising a computer-readable medium containing computer program code, which can be executed by a computer processor for performing any or all of the steps, operations, or processes described.

Embodiments of the invention may also relate to an apparatus for performing the operations herein. This apparatus may be specially constructed for the required purposes, and/or it may comprise a general-purpose computing device selectively activated or reconfigured by a computer program stored in the computer. Such a computer program may be stored in a tangible computer readable storage medium or any type of media suitable for storing electronic instructions, and coupled to a computer system bus. Furthermore, any computing systems referred to in the specification may include a single processor or may be architectures employing multiple processor designs for increased computing capability.

Embodiments of the invention may also relate to a computer data signal embodied in a carrier wave, where the computer data signal includes any embodiment of a computer program product or other data combination described herein. The computer data signal is a product that is presented in a tangible medium or carrier wave and modulated or otherwise encoded in the carrier wave, which is tangible, and transmitted according to any suitable transmission method.

Finally, the language used in the specification has been principally selected for readability and instructional purposes, and it may not have been selected to delineate or circumscribe the inventive subject matter. It is therefore intended that the scope of the invention be limited not by this detailed description, but rather by any claims that issue on an application based here on. Accordingly, the disclosure of the embodiments of the invention is intended to be illustrative, but not limiting, of the scope of the invention, which is set forth in the following claims.
