Abstract

Software on a content-aggregation website obtains a resource associated with a podcast from a website publishing the podcast and stores it e resource on the content-aggregation website. The software adds the resource as a leaf node to a taxonomy generated by the content-aggregation website. The addition is based on data associated with the podcast. The non-leaf nodes in the taxonomy are categories of content. The software determines that a user of the content-aggregation website is qualified as to at least one category that includes the resource as a leaf node. The determination is based at least in part on feedback from the user that includes a viewing or listening history for the user. Then the software serves the resource to the user in a content stream published by the content-aggregation website, based at least in part on a personalization score associated with the resource.
