Abstract

When a user enters an information retrieval query, topic feed is generated for publication or distribution to a set of followers or recipients who have elected to receive the topic feed from the user or based on the subject matter content of the query. The topic feed is distributed and includes the query. The user's interests are tracked based on text in the user's queries and other text in the topic feed that the user interacts with.
