ABSTRACT:
A method and system for determining interest spaces among online content sources. According to one embodiment, a method may include generating a representation of a network of online content sources, where the representation reflects navigation paths and respective navigation path weights among the online content sources, and where the navigation path weights are indicative of user activity among the online content sources. The method may further include generating one or more interest spaces of the network dependent upon the navigation paths and respective navigation path weights, where each interest space includes at least a subset of the online content sources.
