Systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for asking and searching for the answer to given questions, retrieving answers to such questions, as well as presenting such answers in a user-generated content style framework on a search engine. The system of the present invention comprises a question processor, operative to determine whether a question entered by a user has been previously answered, an answer data store storing answers to previously asked questions stored therein, an answer repository storing questions not yet answered by another user, and an editor tool operative to format an answer stored in the answer data store into user-generated content style and migrate the answer to a user-generated content style web page.

System and method for maintenance of questions and answers through collaborative and community editing

The disclosure describes systems and methods delivering communications associated with delivery conditions in which the occurrence of the delivery condition is determined by monitoring information received from a plurality of sources via multiple communication channels. The message delivery systems allow messages to be delivered to any 'Who, What, When, Where' from any 'Who, What, When, Where' upon the detection of an occurrence of one or more &#x201c;Who, What, When, Where&#x201d; delivery conditions. A message (which may be any data object including text-based messages, audio-based message such as voicemail or other audio such as music or video-based prerecorded messages) is delivered in accordance with delivery conditions based on any available data, including topical, spatial, temporal, and/or social data. Furthermore, because the systems coordinate delivery of messages via multiple communication channels and through multiple devices, the communication channel for delivery of a message may be dynamically determined based on the delivery conditions.

System and method for message clustering

Methods and apparatus are described for detecting social relationships across multiple networks and/or communication channels. These social relationships may then be utilized in a wide variety of ways to support and enhance a broad range of user services.

Identifying and employing social network relationships

Embodiments of methods, systems or apparatuses relating to data processing and more particularly to methods, systems, and/or apparatuses for use in searching for information are disclosed.

Methods, systems, and/or apparatuses for use in searching for information using computer platforms

Methods and system for customizing a webpage include generating a schematic representation of the webpage wherein the webpage includes a plurality of section elements that are customizable. The schematic representation identifies a plurality of schematic section elements corresponding to the plurality of section elements of the webpage. The schematic representation is rendered for the webpage and provides visual navigation through various section elements of the webpage. A schematic section element is selected from the schematic representation, for customizing. The selection of the schematic section element triggers rendering of respective one or more navigation links, which provide tools or options for customization. Changes representing customization to one or more attributes associated with the selected schematic section element are received and the attributes are updated at the schematic representation in real-time. The changes are cascaded to the corresponding section elements of the webpage in substantial real-time based on user interaction.
