Abstract

A system for dynamically defining a web feed includes a memory unit adapted to store web feed data and to generate a web feed of selected web content. The system includes an input processor to receive a user input defining one or more remote websites and to retrieve remote web content from the one or more remote websites. A user interface is provided to display a set of identified elements from the remote web content in a display area of a primary website and a selection processor receives a user selection identifying one or more selected elements of the remote web content. An equivalency engine calculates equivalency classes including subsets of the identified elements determined to be structurally similar to the selected elements. A web feed is generated and displayed to the user on the primary website that includes at least the selected elements and one or more of the subsets of the identified elements determined to be structurally similar to the selected elements.
