Abstract
A method for enabling users to share information across websites. A user may add some information to augment a posting on a first website to annotate its content. The information may be displayed on the first website as a related file and stored in a user augmented content system (UACS) database as an individual document. Another user may add some information to a posting on a second website to enrich its content, and the information may be displayed on the second website as a related file and stored in the UACS database as another individual document. The documents may be stored together with some keywords, and may be tagged, indexed and searchable. Users may easily find out who contributed what to the websites, and configure their websites to automatically receive content newly uploaded to the UACS database. If the augmenting content from the first website is relevant to the content on the second website, it may be automatically distributed to the second website.
