Abstract
Computer processes are disclosed for automatically refining the order and/or content of context-specific lists of items (e.g., products) based on monitored actions of users. One such process involves outputting context-specific lists of items to users together with selectable controls for initiating displays of similar items. When users opt to view similar items, the users' actions performed in connection with the similar items are recorded. If the resulting level of user activity recorded for a particular similar item is sufficiently high, the item is automatically added to the associated context-specific list.
