A method is provided in one example and includes receiving network traffic associated with a particular user; developing a personal vocabulary for the particular user based on the network traffic; determining areas of interest for the particular user based on the personal vocabulary; determining associations for the particular user in relation to additional users; and generating a feed based on a portion of the network traffic. The feed is delivered to a subset of the additional users.

System and method for providing feeds based on activity in a network environment

An example method includes receiving a search query that includes one or more attributes; evaluating a plurality of video files; identifying video clips within the video files that have one or more of the search attributes; and creating a video report comprising a contiguous sequence of the video clips, where the video clips are stitched together according to a stitch criterion. In more particular embodiments, the method can include providing a user interface configured for receiving feedback associated with the plurality of video files. Additionally, the method may include tagging the video files with tags corresponding to predefined attributes; and identifying the predefined attributes in response to the search query. Furthermore, method can include matching the tags with the one or more search attributes, where at least one video clip in a particular one of the video files has at least some of the one or more search attributes.

System and method for creating customized on-demand video reports in a network environment

A method is provided in one example and includes receiving network traffic associated with a first user and a second user; evaluating keywords in the network traffic in order to identify a topic of discussion involving the first and the second users; determining a first sentiment associated with a first data segment associated with the first user; determining a second sentiment associated with a second data segment associated with the second user; and generating an argument map based on the first data sentiment and the second data sentiment.

System and method for providing argument maps based on activity in a network environment

A method is provided in one example and includes evaluating a video file in a network environment; determining an identity of at least one speaker associated with the video file in order to generate an identity attribute; performing speech to text operations associated with the video file in order to generate at least one text attribute; generating a visual worthiness rating based, at least, on the identity attribute and the text attribute associated with the video file, where the visual worthiness rating is reflective of a visual significance of image content in the video file; and rendering the visual worthiness rating to the end user prior to the video file being played.

System and method for evaluating visual worthiness of video data in a network environment

A method is provided in one example and includes receiving data propagating in a network environment and organizing the data into one or more subjects. A request is received for information associated with a particular subject and an individual associated with the particular subject is identified. The request can be communicated to the individual if a request limit has not been exceeded for the individual. In other embodiments, a profile associated with each of a plurality of users in the network environment is maintained. The profile can include a number of questions presented to each user, a number of questions answered by each user, and a configured limit on how many questions each user is permitted to receive. In still other embodiments, a designation is made for a total number of requests that can be open between a plurality of users during a given time interval.

System and method for controlling an exchange of information in a network environment

A method is provided in one example and includes receiving data propagating in a network environment and verifying whether the data is associated with a first end user represented in a registered user list. The method also includes verifying a ratification of a policy associated with data monitoring related to the first end user. Selected words can be identified within the data based on a whitelist, where the whitelist includes a plurality of designated words to be tagged. A resultant composite of the selected words that are tagged is generated. In more specific embodiments, the method can include verifying whether the data is associated with a business email domain. In still other embodiments, the method can include verifying whether the data is associated with a business uniform resource locator (URL) domain.
