ABSTRACT:
A computerized method for gauging the importance of web content and presenting selected content to a user. A web site that has a plurality of comment-enabled entries is monitored, by tracking the number of comments that are posted to the entries by visitors to the web site. An average number of comments per entry is calculated. The web site is monitored over time so as to calculate a moving average, the moving average being the latest average number of comments per entry. The number of comments posted to each of the entries is compared with the moving average, to determine an importance score for each of the entries. A list of some of the entries ranked in accordance with their determined importance scores is displayed to a web user. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
