For controlling synchronization between a multimedia flow and a related social network thread, a device able to capture the multimedia flow and the social network thread selects (S) a time interval, determines (S) a list of multimedia keywords associated with the multimedia flow and determines (S) a list of social keywords associated with the social network thread, each multimedia keyword and each social keyword being associated with a timestamp. The device produces (S) a filtered list of filtered multimedia keywords by selecting distinctive multimedia keywords, each filtered multimedia keyword being associated with a set of similar social keywords, computes (S) a set of delays for at least one filtered multimedia keyword, each delay corresponding to the time difference between the timestamp of the filtered multimedia keyword and the timestamp of a similar social keyword associated with the filtered multimedia keyword, and determines (S) a drift for the time interval by means of at least one set of delays.

A device (D) is intended for determining potential interests of users (U-U) that are clients of at least one network operator, each user being associated to a profile defining at least his interests. This device (D) comprises i) a tracking means (TM) arranged for analyzing the profile of at least one user (U) to determine new real interest(s) it contains and for storing an identifier representative of a determined new real interest of this user (U) in correspondence with a first date at which it has been considered as a new real interest into his profile, and ii) a recommendation means (RM) arranged for analyzing the first dates of a user (U) to determine a time ordered sequence of interests preceding a determined new real interest, and for comparing this determined user interest sequence to at least one other sequence of interests of at least one other user (U) to predict at least one potential future interest for this user (U), to be introduced into his profile.
